The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Services (KUCCPS) has reopened its portal for the first Revision of applicants’ choices for placement to unfilled programmes in Universities, TVET Institutions, Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs) and the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC).
Notably, those who did not successfully apply for the first round can make submissions. In this application period, only KCSE examination candidates with C+ and above are eligible for Degree Programmes.
In addition, individuals who completed their KCSE exams between 2000 and 2023 and achieved any grade point average, but never enrolled in a higher education institution via KUCCPS are also urged to submit applications.
Lastly, if you successfully submitted your KUCCPS application between February and March of 2024, you can now check its status by logging in to the student’s Portal.
The portal will close on the 4th of April 2024.
The first application round was troublesome and applicants had a hard time making submissions. This was primarily due to the platform’s slow response time. Even more frustrating it intermittently went offline.
Applicants were forced to stay up late to have a chance of success. The M-Pesa message to confirm payment was also marred with delays.
Problems facing the portal led to an influx of fake social media accounts purporting to offer applicants quick solutions. The application platform was quick to warn the public via social media to be cautious online.
KUCCPS responded to applicants’ complaints by extending the first-round application period. It ended on the 5th of March. This was a significant extension given the original deadline was the 26th of February.
