2022 Kenya Certificate of  Secondary Education (KCSE) candidates have until June 7, 2023, to apply for placement or revise courses in various institutions.

Students can send their applications on the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) portal that opened on May 17, 2023.

The students only had three weeks to apply for courses in various institutions.

Speaking during the launch of the KUCCPS portal on May 3, 2023, at the University of Nairobi, Education CS Ezekiel Machogu asked KUCCPS to immediately open the portal for students to start applying.

"KUCCPS has conformed to all conditions including publishing fees details of all programmes," Machogu said.

He noted that KUCCPS will place all qualified students in the various programmes.

"A total of 173, 127 candidates with C+ and above qualified for degrees. Those with C plain and below will be absorbed in TVET institutions. Those with C+ and above have not been stopped from applying for courses in TVETs if they so wish," he added.

The CS announced that his ministry has partnered with Huduma Secretariat to have students also apply for programmes at all 52 Huduma centres.

"Officials in the Huduma centres will offer assistance to students applying for programmes. KUCCPS will also send teams to selected universities to offer assistance," he added.

He said the government has the capacity to admit all students.    BY THE STAR
