KUCCPS Opens Applications for 2024 KCSE Candidates

Thousands of students who sat for the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) can now apply for degree courses after the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) opened its application portal.

KUCCPS Application Window Now Open

In a statement released on Friday, KUCCPS announced that candidates who scored a mean grade of C+ and above are eligible to apply for university placement. The portal is also open for students interested in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions, as well as Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs).

“The KUCCPS portal is now open for Degree, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), and Teacher Training Colleges (TTC) applications,” the statement read.

A total of 246,391 students who met the university entry requirements can submit their applications through the KUCCPS portal before the deadline on April 21, 2025.

Available Institutions and Courses

Eligible students can apply for courses in 40 public universities, 29 private universities, and the Open University of Kenya (OPUK). The placement also includes training institutions such as TVET centers, Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC), and TTCs.

KUCCPS has urged interested students to apply via the KUCCPS student portal at student.kuccps.net.

KMTC Application Reopened

KUCCPS had earlier reopened its portal for KMTC applicants on February 26, 2025, following a previous application window that ran from January 24 to February 14. The reopening was meant to allow students to apply for 21 KMTC courses that still have available slots for the March 2025 intake.

“All applicants who were not successful in the last application and others who would like to join KMTC in March 2025 are invited to apply,” KUCCPS stated.
