APS Calculation and Points Table
Admission at UP is highly competitive and based on an Admission Point Score (APS). The score is calculated using your six best subjects, excluding Life Orientation.
| NSC/IEB Percentage | APS Points |
| 80% – 100% | 7 |
| 70% – 79% | 6 |
| 60% – 69% | 5 |
| 50% – 59% | 4 |
| 40% – 49% | 3 |
| 30% – 39% | 2 |
| 0% – 29% | 1 |
- Life Orientation: This subject is excluded from the APS calculation.
- Mathematics: Most technical, science, and commerce degrees require Mathematics (not Mathematical Literacy) at specific levels.
- Ranking System: UP uses a ranking system; meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee admission as space is limited.
