Namibia admission points calculator

Free for all learners, always. Institutions can enquire about being added to the calculator, universityaffairsna@gmail.com

New standardised scale, effective 2027. This calculator uses the Namibia Higher Education Evaluation Point Scale (Ministry of Education Circular 01/2026, Annexure A), which applies to ALL higher education institutions from the 2027 academic year. Select your qualification type per subject: NSSCO, NSSCAS, NSSCH, GCE, or IB, and the correct points are applied automatically.

Enter up to 6 subjects. Select your qualification type for each subject. We show two totals: your best 5 subjects and all 6 subjects. English is compulsory.

Best 5 vs all 6 subjects. Some institutions only count your best 5 subjects, so a 6th subject will not add to your admission score there. NUST states this in its 2027 admission guide (“calculate the 5 best subjects including English”). UNAM, IUM and Triumphant publish their requirement as “five subjects” and do not say whether a 6th can add points, so use the best-5 total as your main figure and the all-6 total as a reference only. Always confirm with the institution.

UNAM, standardised scale (Circular 01/2026): NSSCO: A*=8, A=7, B=6, C=5, D=4, E=3 · NSSCAS: a=9, b=8, c=7, d=6, e=5 · GCE A-Level: A=10, B=9. Five subjects, English compulsory (best-5 total shown; UNAM does not state whether a 6th subject counts). Degree = 27 pts · Diploma = 22 pts · Engineering & Law = 27+ pts · Medicine & Dentistry = 35+ pts (highly competitive, faculty selection applies).

⚠ UNAM's 2027 general admission guide sets entry by five subjects with a required mix of NSSCAS and NSSCO passes (e.g. 2 NSSCAS + 3 NSSCO), so points alone may not be enough. Thresholds are indicative, meeting the minimum does not guarantee admission. Faculty-specific requirements apply. Verify 2027 requirements: +264 61 206 3786 · unam.edu.na · studentrecords@unam.na
