National Benchmark Test
Admissions
AIM, PDBA & EMBA applicants are required to write the National Benchmark Test (NBT). This UCT-developed test provides additional insight into the candidate's verbal and quantitative abilities.
Visit the National Benchmark Test website. Follow the steps to book and pay for your test(s) as well as further information on test venues and times.
The National Benchmark Test can only be written at the nominated venues throughout the year.
Please ensure that you book your NBT test early as places are limited at the venues. No application will be reviewed without having received the NBT results
You must pay the testing fee as soon as you have registered and received your unique EasyPay number.
