KUCCPS Opens portal for 1st phase of application by 2024 KCSE students
Last Updated on January 25, 2025 by NewsTurkana
Students who sat for their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination in 2024 can now apply for placement to KMTC and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges of their choice.
This is after the Kenya universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) announced Friday, January 24 that it has opened its application portal.
In a statement, KUCCPS says it has for the first time adopted a phased application process, starting with Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) and the TVET colleges to allow students enrolling for the March intake to apply on time.
The portal will remain open for 21 days, and will be closed on 14 February 2025.
“Universities and Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs) normally have their intakes later in the year while KMTC and TVETs admit theirs in January, March and May, hence the need to have a phased application process to enable students transition to colleges promptly,” says KUCCPS CEO Dr. Agnes Mercy Wahome.
According to Dr. Wahome, Form Four leavers who sat their KCSE examination from the year 2000 to 2024 are eligible to apply for the slots.
Applications for degree programmes and TTCs will follow thereafter at dates that will be announced.
For students who will re-sit their KCSE examination this year, KUCCPS says they will have an opportunity to apply for KMTC and TVET programmes, using their improved grades, for the September intake.
Dr. Wahome also noted a tremendous increase in training opportunities both in TVET institutions and KMTC.
Detailed application guidelines, institutions, available programmes and their requirements are available on the KUCCPS portal students.kuccps.net and the KUCCPS website www.kuccps.ac.ke.
Applications can only be done through the portal and applicants are advised to be vigilant to avoid becoming victims of online fraudsters.
KUCCPS officers will offer support to roll out a national exercise to guide students and support applicants in designated colleges in all the 47 counties, including Huduma Centres.
