The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has opened its application portal for 2026 university and TVET placement.
In a statement on Tuesday, April 7, KUCCPS invited 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) candidates seeking admission to various colleges and universities across the country to submit applications.
The placement body said the placement cycle will run until May 6, 2026.
“The KUCCPS system is open for University and TVET applications. Log in to students.kuccps.ac.ke and apply for Degree, Level 6, Level 5, and Level 4 TVET programmes,” KUCCPS said.
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, 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.
