The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has opened its portal for the 2025 university placement.

In a statement on Friday, March 28, the placement service called on the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) candidates to apply for their preferred courses.

KCSE candidates can apply through the KUCCPS portal before April 21, 2025.

“Attention 2024 KCSE cohort! You can now apply for degree courses via the KUCCPS official portal. Log in to http://students.kuccps.net and apply. Deadline: April 21, 2025,” KUCCPS stated.

How to Apply

Candidates seeking placement for various courses are advised to log in on the KUCCPS students portal https://students.kuccps.net/login/ and apply.

Once learners access the portal, they will be prompted to enter their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) index number, KCSE year, and password.

Students are advised to use their Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) index number or birth certificate number as their password.

KUCCPS had earlier clarified that only Kenyan citizens are eligible for university placement in Kenya.

However, non-Kenyans can apply for specific courses, including the Diploma in Primary Teacher Education, Diploma in Early Childhood Teacher Education programs, and Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) programs.

An applicant looking to pursue a degree course must obtain a minimum grade of C+ (plus) in KCSE, while a diploma student must have at least a C- (minus). On the other hand, a certificate student must have a minimum grade of D+ (plus) in KCSE.

Only students who apply through KUCCPS are considered for placement in the respective programs they select.
