Central University Of Technology CUT Selection Test
This information is relevant for prospective students who were identified to write the selection test for and planning to commence studies in January of 2023.
If it was not communicated to you that you should write the selection test, it is not necessary.
The Central University of Technology via the Wellness Centre administers the selection for prospective students. Selection/ Admissions tests are conducted to give an alternative opportunity to students who do not meet the minimum admission requirements of 27 points. The selection testing combines a series of tests that assesses aptitude and proficiency in English. Other courses will have departmental tests and interest questionnaires. This will be advised during the testing process.
