Among the many requirements needed for admission into the National University of Lesotho, NUL, the admission point score is the most necessary. For those of us who might be asking what an admission point score means. It is simply an accumulation of grade points needed for admission into the University. The NUL APS for various courses is determined by using a constant calculation formula which will be stated in this article.
Every year, the management of the National University of Lesotho publishes a standard Admission Point Score for all courses which can be used as a constant in determining the selection of prospective students into undergraduate programmes. Bear in mind that the NUL APS is only used as a selection criteria for undergraduate admission and not for postgraduate studies.

HOW TO CALCULATE THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF LESOTHO, NUL ADMISSION POINT SCORE
The calculation of an NUL admission point score is based on a candidates’ achievement in six (6) recognized LGCSE subjects. The University shall assign LGCSE eight-point rating scale of achievement as shown in the table below.
Lesotho General Certificate of Secondary Education (LGCSE) grading
| Achievement | Marks (per cent) |
| A* (1) | 90 – 100 |
| A (2) | 80 – 89 |
| B (3) | 70 – 79 |
| C (4) | 60 – 69 |
| D (5) | 50 – 59 |
| E (6) | 40 – 49 |
| F (7) | 30 – 39 |
| G (8) | 0 – 29 |
A maximum of APS 26 is required for admission into the university. That is, an applicant must have a maximum of four C grades (4 points), and two D grades (5 points).
This can be calculated thus:
4×4=16, 5×2= 10
16+10=26
These are the minimum entry requirements and the University shall admit students based on merit, which means, a candidate that has APS 10 will be admitted before one that has APS 12.
