DHERST uses the marks to select students to higher institutions.

2022 Grade 12 Selections Date

DHERST usually takes less than a week to process the selection listings for the tertiary institutions in the coutry.

It works in collaboration with the universities, colleges and other tertiary institutions to do the selection. But, first the institutions MUST tell DHERST their quota - how many students they will accept for the academic year 2022.

So, unless the institutions provide the quotas on time DHERST will not release the listing.

It is important to note that the higher institutions NOT sending the quotas often resulted in delays.
