Kuccps Announces Limited Vacancies, Updates University Registration for KCSE Candidates in 2023
The latest Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) news indicates that a public notice dated Monday, January 30 has warned students of limited university slots.
The placement body advised 2022 Kenya Secondary Certificate of Education (KCSE) candidates to be keen when applying for the limited slots.
The placement service revealed that it had not yet opened the application portal but soon 2022 KCSE students will be given access to choose their preferred universities and courses.
“Once we open the portal, students will be required to do their first revision which is on the basis of applications.
“If you miss applying during the second revision, the majority of the courses will not be available to apply for,” the placement body warned.
KUCCPS further revealed that courses like medicine, engineering, computer science, and other competitive courses had limited slots.
The placement body further stated that it will provide a guide for students on various courses offered by different universities and colleges.
“Once you access the portal, go to your dashboard and download pdfs available showing courses offered in various institutions,” KUCCPS advised.
“Do not go online to search for courses offered in any institution to avoid being misled, only use the pdfs provided by KUCCPS,” the placement body warned the students.
KUCCPS further detailed how students will apply for courses according to their KCSE mean grade.
Students who scored above C+ will be eligible to apply for degree courses while those who attained C plain and C- will apply for diploma courses.
“For students applying for degree courses, check if you meet all the minimum subject requirements and also the cut-off points,” KUCCPS advised.
The cut-off points will be calculated by KUCCPS and automatically posted on your portal.
“Those who scored below C+ will only use their grade or subject to check if they qualify for a specific course,” the placement body clarified.
Students applying for the different degree and diploma courses will pay an application fee of Ksh1,500.
“The application fee is not applicable to those who had applied while in their former secondary schools,” KUCCPS announced.
Students can access the KUCCPS portal by logging into www(dot)students(dot)kuccps(dot)net/login/

KUCCPS Placement Results 2022-2023 for diploma courses and cluster points – frequently asked questions, FAQs
How long does a KUCCPS diploma course take in Kenya?
TVET diploma courses take 3 years on average. Note that most are KNEC/CDACC Examined.
Does KUCCPS sponsor diploma students?
Yes. KUCCPS sponsors students to the tune of Kshs.30000/- per year (this is the annual capitation). Part of this amount is sent to the institution to cater for tuition fees while the balance is wired to the student’s bank account to cater for their upkeep.
What are the best diploma courses in Kenya?
Because most of the kuccps business diploma courses are flooded (many unemployed youths hold these diplomas), we recommend that you pursue a technical diploma course such as building, mechanical engineering, refrigeration& air conditioning, etc.
The best thing about these courses is that you can easily employ yourself if jobs are not forthcoming.
Who is eligible for KUCCPS diploma courses?
Any student who has a KCSE certificate (from this year all the way back to the year 2000) can apply for placement in kuccps diploma and certificate courses (and even degree courses).
Note that to be eligible, those from earlier years should not have attended a college under KUCCPS sponsorship previously.
What are the current KUCCPS diploma courses qualifications?
The general qualification is a C- mean grade (minimum in your KCSE). However, some courses need a C plain and others a C+. See the earlier sections for the complete list of kuccps diploma courses and requirements.
