KUCCPS Revision of Courses for KCSE Candidates 2019

Each year, the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) announces opening of the online application system for prospective candidates looking forward to enrolling for higher learning education.

The first revision exercise for degree students involves candidates who competitively met the minimum aggregate of C+ (46 points) in the previous year KCSE were derived after in-depth analysis and assessment of the declared capacity of our local public and private universities for all degree programmes under the sponsorship of the government.

The government has also advised candidates who scored at least a C- (32 points) and D (18 points) to apply for Diploma and Certificate courses under government sponsorship. The placement service expects prospective applicants to keep track of important dates to make sure they are not locked out.

The first revision gives out an equal opportunity for all candidates to make informed career choices regardless of whether they applied through their secondary schools or not. It is important to note is that students application revision is only done online and no manual submissions will be accepted or reviewed.

Revision of courses procedure

There are several KUCCPS programmes that candidates can choose. Even with the diversity, it is essential to make an informed career choice to get the most out of your training. Apparently, there are 529-degree programmes, 66-universities, more than 200-diploma programmes, and about 122 colleges to choose. Below is an elaborate KUCCPS application system procedure to help you with the revision process and avoid being locked out on this crucial exercise.

• Navigate to KUCCPS student portal
• Log in using your KCSE Index Number, examination year, and password

Note: Use your Birth Certificate number or KCPE Index number to serve as your Initial Password.

• Click on the button labelled “APPLICATION / REVISION.”
• Start your revision by entering the programme codes for all the six choices labelled as 1a, 1b, 1c, 2, 3, and 4.
• Click on the button “Check requirements” to verify whether you are eligible for a set of selected programmes.
• If you qualify for all the programmes chosen, a submit button will appear. Your qualification is based on whether you meet all the minimum requirements set for particular courses. The “Submit” button will also work exclusively for the programmes you have selected.
• If you are applying for the first time, the system will prompt you with an MPESA transaction code. Complete the payment through MPESA and then feed in the transaction code to authorise your payment.
• Prospective applicants are forewarned not to make any payment before checking their eligibility status for a set of KUCCPS courses selected.

Note: Candidates who paid the placement fees through their secondary schools will not be required to pay during their first and second revisions.

KUCCPS expects candidates who fail to secure a choice in their first revision following a competitive selection to participate in the second revision on a mandatory basis to avoid losing out on the exercise. There should be no cause of worry if your first application for higher learning education was not accepted. By that, I mean that it is not necessarily your fault you are now revising for KUCCPS courses.

That said, this section will guide you with an elaborate procedure to make sure your applications are successfully accepted. The second and final revision of certificate, diploma, and degree courses is equally open to your choice but with limited courses on offer. For this reason, prospective candidates should make degree, diploma, and certificate choices to different unfilled capacities listed in the portal.

If you have the required points and yet your index numbers is not documented on KUCCPS website, then it means that you have already secured a place in the career and institution that you chose. This implies that the placement board accepted your first application to join selected learning programmes, and you will receive official communication at the end of the placement process.

The second revision of courses by KUCCPS is also another lucrative opportunity for those candidates who failed to submit their applications during secondary school and first revisions. Helpful guiding information concerning available programmes in different institutions, programme clusters, preceding cut-off points, weighed cluster points, and the procedure of application are all accessible through KUCCPS portal. Below is a step by step guide to facilitate your revision of degree courses.
