A learner who needs help enrolling in a college

Based on the admission requirements for Lilitha College of Nursing, here’s a breakdown to help answer your question:

Minimum Academic Requirements:
To be considered for admission, you must meet the following:

Grade 12 certificate with at least:

English Level 3 or E symbol (for the old certificate)

Biology (Life Sciences) Level 4 or D symbol (for the old certificate)

Aggregate D or E/S (from 750 and above) – for the old certificate

New certificate holders must qualify for admission to a diploma or bachelor’s degree

Other science subjects like Physical Science or Mathematics are an added advantage but not compulsory.

You need a minimum Admission Point Score (APS) of 18.

Your Case:
You finished matric in 2020.

You failed two subjects: Maths and Physical Science.

Now let’s break that down:

Maths and Physical Science are not compulsory – so failing them does not automatically disqualify you.

What matters most is:

Your English mark: Was it at least Level 3 (40–49%)?

Your Life Sciences (Biology) mark: Was it at least Level 4 (50–59%)?

Your overall APS: Do you have at least 18 points from your best six subjects?

If you passed English and Life Sciences with the required levels and your total APS is 18 or more, then you may qualify to apply.

What You Can Do:
Calculate your APS using your matric results. Use your best six subjects, including English and Life Sciences.

Check if English is Level 3 or higher and Life Sciences is Level 4 or higher.

If yes, then you can apply for a Diploma in Nursing at Lilitha College.
