Mangosuthu University of Technology (MUT) in Umlazi takes first-year applications through the Central Applications Office (CAO). It scores NSC subjects on an 8-point scale and never counts Life Orientation<\/strong>. MUT had not published a 2027 prospectus when we checked, so the minimums below come from the CAO Handbook for 2027 entry<\/a>, MUT’s admission requirements page<\/a> and its 2026 faculty prospectuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to calculate your MUT APS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Convert each subject mark into points with the table below.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Leave out Life Orientation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Add your top six subjects, the default the CAO handbook and MUT’s IT entry use. MUT’s own admission page says best five, so work out both and check with MUT if you are close to a cut-off.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    MUT APS table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    MUT’s table stops at 40%; it does not publish points for lower marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    English 58% (4), isiZulu 66% (5), Mathematics 52% (4), Accounting 61% (5), Business Studies 55% (4) and Life Sciences 48% (3) give 25 on the top-six rule, enough for the Diploma in Accounting (25). On the best-five rule the same marks give 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
