The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCP) has urged prospective applicants to be wary of social media pages impersonating the service.

In a statement on Monday, July 28, KUCCPS pointed out that the acronym was a core part of its identity and distanced itself from unverified accounts purporting to share updates from the institution.

It pointed out one such Facebook page going by "Kuccps News" and warned students that the page was not an official communication channel affiliated with KUCCPS.
