Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu on Wednesday 17^th May launched the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) portal for 2022 KCSE candidates.

The launch took place at the University of Nairobi’s (UoN) Taifa Hall where he also launched the Nairobi Innovation Week at the same event.

The Education CS further noted that students who scored a C+ and above but would wish to join TVET institutions are free to do so.

“In line with the Presidential directive, I have today asked KUCCPS to open its portal today to allow all KCSE candidates to start applying for courses they wish to study in universities and TVET institutions,” said Machogu.

He added; “I have made this directive after getting satisfied that the Placement Service has met the conditions of the new model, having verified and published all the fee details of all programs on their website.”

Additionally, Machogu said KUCCPS would partner with the Huduma Kenya Secretariat to ensure students can apply for their courses from all the 52 Huduma Centres across the country.

KUCCPS officers will also be sent out to select universities and colleges in every county where they will be available to students, parents, and members of the public for personalized support and assistance.
