What the calculator does
Choose a university and a programme, then enter your matric, intermediate and entry-test marks. The calculator turns each into a percentage and adds them up with that programme's weights — for example 10% from matric, 40% from intermediate and 50% from the entry test — and checks the minimum marks the programme asks for.
Where the formulas come from
Each formula is taken from the university's own admission documents and links to that source with the date we last checked it. 143 of the 209 universities in the catalogue publish a merit formula for 3,319 of their programmes. Some programmes rank applicants on an entry test alone, or decide through interviews; for those the calculator says so instead of inventing a formula.
How to read your result
- Your aggregate is a percentage worked out the way the university does it. It is not a prediction: whether you get a seat depends on how many students apply and on their marks, which change every year.
- Where a university has published the closing merit of its last admission round, the programme's page shows it, with the year, the list it comes from and the source.
- Universities can change their formulas, so confirm on the university's own page before you apply.
To check many programmes at once, choose "Find programmes I qualify for": enter your marks once and see your aggregate for every programme that publishes a formula, and whether you meet each one's published minimum marks.
