2023 APPLICATION CUT-OFF POINTS – A GUIDE

University of Botswana has observed that the Admission Cut-Off Points for different study programmes average
around both the Overall and Programme Points listed below. The said averages are displayed below as the
Application Cut-Off Points, which serve as a guide to prospective applicants as they select their study choices.
Both the Overall and Programme Points listed are the minimum points that each prospective applicant has to
satisfy in order to apply for their study choices.

In the table below, some programmes show Overall Points ONLY; while others show both the Overall and
Programme Points. Admission into programmes with the Overall Points only is based on OVERALL POINTS
ONLY, while admission into programmes with both the Overall and Programme Points is based on
PROGRAMME POINTS, although they also have to meet the Overall Points.

Prospective applicants should note that these Application cut-off points are just a Guide, NOT THE FINAL
ADMISSION CUT OFF POINTS, hence meeting them does not guarantee admission.
