2023/2024 Third Revision of Choices: KUCCPS Reopens Portal for Final Selection to Degree and TVET Courses
The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has opened its portal for the third and final phase of selection to allow last year’s KCSE candidates who have not selected their choices for universities and colleges for this year’s intake to submit applications.
The exercise will close on Saturday July 8, 2023.
Students who submitted their applications in May and June this year during the revision periods but have missed placement to their preferred courses are also required to revise their choices again, at no cost.
Applicants can confirm if they have been placed by checking their student’s portal for a message from KUCCPS showing that they have provisionally secured a chance or not. Any candidate who has secured a provisional placement is not required to reapply.
Also targeted in the placement drive are those who sat their KCSE in 2022 and the previous years but have never applied to join universities, TTCs, technical and vocational training (TVET) institutions.
Details of 2022 KCSE candidates who are required to select courses afresh are available HERE.
The students have also been notified by SMS.
Those who have secured provisional placement should wait for KUCCPS to complete the placement process after which they will be provided with details of their courses and institutions, by September 2023.
In the 2022 KCSE examination, 869,782 candidates received their results, of whom 696,655 (80.1%) attained mean grades ranging from C to E, hence qualified for artisan, craft and diploma courses offered in TVET institutions. The remaining 173,127 (19.9%) scored C+ and above and qualified for placement to degree programmes.
Many employment opportunities will arise in the five priority sectors under the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), hence there is a need to equip students with adequate and relevant skills. This will be achieved if students enroll in TVET institutions, according to KUCCPS Chief Executive Officer Dr. Agnes Mercy Wahome.
Under the transformation programme, the government seeks to invest resources in agriculture, micro, small and medium enterprises, housing and settlement, healthcare, and creative economy and the digital superhighway.
“There are many TVET courses that provide skills for these sectors, and they are available on the KUCCPS portal,” she added.
KUCCPS selects KCSE graduates for placement to all levels of higher education – artisan, craft, diploma or degree. With any KCSE mean grade, a secondary school graduate can log into the system and find a course that suits their grade.
