The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has officially opened its online portal for the 2024 intake, inviting applications for placement into Degree, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), and Teacher Training Colleges (TTC) courses.
This crucial application window targets a wide range of candidates, providing an opportunity to pursue higher education in accredited institutions across Kenya.
According to KUCCPS, the application process is open to the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) candidates for degree courses, and to candidates who sat for their KCSE exams between the years 2000 and 2024 for TVET and TTC programs.
This inclusive approach ensures that even those who completed their secondary education years ago still have a chance to enroll in professional training and skill development courses.
To apply, candidates must log into the KUCCPS student portal at students.kuccps.net, where they are required to enter their KCSE index number, examination year, and password — typically their birth certificate number or KCPE index number.
The application process is fully online, making it accessible to all applicants regardless of their location.
KUCCPS plays a vital role in managing the placement of government-sponsored students to various institutions of higher learning in Kenya. The service ensures a fair and transparent process that aligns student interests, academic strengths, and labor market demands.
The deadline for submitting applications is April 21, 2025. Prospective students are urged to complete their applications before the deadline to avoid last-minute technical hitches or disqualification due to late submissions.
Institutions available for application include public and private universities, national polytechnics, technical institutes, and TTCs spread across the country.
For more information, KUCCPS has provided support through its official social media platforms — Facebook (@The.Placement.Service), Instagram (@official_kuccps), X/Twitter (@KUCCPS_Official) — and email at info@kuccps.ac.ke. They can also be reached via phone at 020 5137400 or 0723 954927.
With the increasing demand for skilled labor and professional qualifications in Kenya and beyond, this opportunity by KUCCPS is not only timely but also essential for empowering young people and adult learners to advance their academic and career goals.
Interested individuals are encouraged to take advantage of the open portal and secure their places in the next academic cycle.
