English Mean Grade To Determine KUCCPS Course Placement

According to Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Services, KUCCPS, it is now obvious that students who desire to enroll in mathematics-related courses must have obtained a minimum KCSE score of C (plain) in either English or Kiswahili.

The new plan will not change the C+ (plus) admission grade for university, but it will influence individual disciplines such as computer science, ICT, economics, statistics, and finance that are required to follow one’s desired course.

In the past, students’ placement in these courses was determined solely by the subject of Mathematics. As per the new suggested arrangement, students will need Mathematics plus English or Kiswahili to qualify for placement under government sponsorship.

A lot of disciplines are necessary when following one’s intended course. In the recent past, placement to all courses had a specific minimum entry grade of mathematics. Those who excelled well in mathematics booked themselves a nice course as compared to those who performed poorly.

In the most recent updates and changes, students who wish to enroll in prestigious courses must have performed well in English and Kiswahili subjects. This is what will determine placement to careers under government sponsorship in universities.

The university authorities’ suggestion might be a way to guarantee that applicants to the agriculture, building, and construction programs have graduate-level communication abilities.

The aim is that this criterion will also be used as a determining factor for a number of education courses that have been made simpler.

Students interested in environmental sciences will now have a wider selection of subjects to choose from when applying to universities thanks to the addition of Geography as an alternative to Chemistry and Agricultural as an alternative to Biology.

The changes are considered as providing a softer landing because when the results of the national Exams are released, many students typically fare better in Agriculture and Geography than in Mathematics and Chemistry.
