There are a few requirements that must be met when applying online to Tshwane University of Technology (TUT). The TUT online application requirements, including the APS and NBTs, as well as relevant website links, will all be covered in this article.

Academic Performance Score (APS)

• The South African Department of Education uses a calculation called the Academic Performance Score (APS) to figure out a student’s final grade for matriculation. Universities also use it to see if an applicant meets the minimum requirements for admission to a particular course. The APS framework depends on the candidate’s matric results, and various courses have different least APS necessities. For instance, a Bachelor of Engineering degree requires a minimum of 30 APS credits, while a Bachelor of Arts degree requires 26 APS credits.

National Benchmark Test (NBT)

• Universities in South Africa use a test called the National Benchmark Test (NBT) to assess a student’s readiness for higher education. There are two sections to the NBT: the Scholar and Quantitative Education (AQL) test and the Math test. A student’s mathematical ability is measured by the Mathematics test, while their academic literacy skills are measured by the AQL test. Universities use the NBT results to determine whether an applicant is academically prepared for tertiary education’s demands.
