KUCCPS opens application window for 2026 placement
The development comes days after KUCCPS opened its system for the 2026 application to universities, colleges and TVET institutions. The online application opened on April 7, 2026 and will run until May 6, 2026.
The application targets the 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination class and other Form Four leavers from previous years. The 2025 class can apply for both degree and TVET programmes.
Applicants for degree programmes will join universities from September, while those applying for TVET programmes will report to their respective colleges starting May, since TVET placement is continuous.
According to KUCCPS, 268,700 candaidates attained mean grade of C+ and above, in the 2025 KCSE, qualifying them for placement to degree programmes in the 43 public and 31 private universities.
At the same time, 711,744 learners scored between C plain and E and qualify for placement to public colleges and other TVET institutions.
In addition to the universities, 251 public TVET colleges including 33 university TVET institutes are available for student placement this year.
