Following the challenges reported during application for placement to universities and colleges through the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS), a joint technical team has addressed the issue in relation to delays in payment.
As a result, 22,307 students have submitted their applications successfully on the KUCCPS portal in the last 24 hours. This is the highest number of successful applicants in 24 hours since the process began on February 7, 2024.
By close of business today (March 1, 2024), 144,102 (72.2%) of the 199,695 students who attained a mean grade of C+ and above in the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination had applied.
Based on the application trends of the 2022 KCSE candidates, KUCCPS targets 173,178 (86%) of the students with C+ above to apply for placement this year.
So far, 83% of the targeted students with a mean grade of C+ and above in the 2023 KCSE examination have applied.
Following the stabilisation of payment integration process, KUCCPS encourages all those who are yet to submit their course choices to do so before the deadline of Monday, March 4th 2024.
