The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has announced the opening of a fresh application window for degree programmes, giving eligible Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) candidates another opportunity to secure university placement.
In an update on Monday, July 20, the service said the application exercise targets Kenyan citizens from the KCSE 2022, 2023 and 2024 cohorts who meet the eligibility criteria but have not previously benefited from KUCCPS placement to degree programmes.
According to KUCCPS, applicants must have attained a minimum mean grade of C+ (plus), qualifying them for degree programmes, and must also meet the specific subject requirements for the course they wish to pursue.
The placement service noted that the application window is only open to candidates who have not previously been placed by KUCCPS.
However, an exception has been made for applicants who were earlier placed in Teachers Training Colleges (TTCs), the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) and the Kenya School of Law (KSL), allowing them to apply for degree programmes through the current application exercise.
