KUCCPS Reopens Portal: How to Check & Revise Applications
Candidates for the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) can now review and edit their applications submitted in February and March as the placement portal has been reopened.
Students who had not submitted their applications within the initial window would also be able to access the portal, according to a message dated Wednesday, March 19.
The placement body states that the portal will remain accessible until April 4, 2024.”First revision of applicants’ choices for placement to universities, TVET institutions, Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs), and the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) is now available through the KUCCPS application page.
“The target is applicants who have not secured any of their choices submitted in February/March 2024 and 2023 KCSE examination candidates with C+ and above who did not apply for Degree Programmes during the February/March 2024 application period,” read the notice in part.
Kenyans who sat for KCSE from 2000 to 2023 and are yet to join a tertiary institution have also been advised to take advantage of the application window and choose a course of their choice at TVET institutions across the country.
How to Check & Revise Applications
All students who made their applications during the first window have been advised to check on the status of their applications by accessing the student portal: students.kuccps.net.
If a student discovers that their application to a specific course and university was denied, they have the option to reapply for a different course based on their cutoff scores and KCSE results.On the other hand, those who are applying for the first time can also do so by visiting the student portal.
Worrying Trends Reported During the First Applications
According to KUCCPS Chief Executive Officer Agnes Mercy Wahome, very few students who qualified for TVET courses submitted their applications.
688,591 students met the requirements for a TVET course with mean grades between C and E. Many were concentrating on their degree programs.
“The CEO also noted that certain programs provided by certain institutions were out of step with contemporary developments. She mentioned that, despite agriculture being a priority area in the government’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), none of the colleges offered courses on irrigation system installation.”
Media and communication courses in some of the institutions did not include drone photography or videography that many events require nowadays,” according to a statement from March 8.
