On Thursday, 11th January, the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) issued a clarification notice to students who were making payments for applications to TVET institutions.
KUCCPS urged applicants to use only the official KUCCPS account to submit applications. This caution came in response to an uptick in cases where users were making payments using mobile money codes.
“For TVET application payment, please use the account number provided for payment to submit your application,” reads the notice in part.
The placement agency, however, did not state the reasons why students should use only the account numbers.
KUCCPS has opened TVET applications for students who sat their KCSE as early as 2000, to 2022. These applicants are required to submit their applications by January 2024 to pave the way for placement.
Those who sat their KCSE in 2023 will be allowed to apply for TVET courses once the portal is open for applications. There were a total of 494,317 D+ who automatically qualified to join TVETs for certificates/diplomas of their choice.
