The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) will, from next week, open its portal for applications for the September 2025 university intake, Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba has said.
This announcement marks a critical step for students who sat for Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination last year.
In the 2024 KCSE exams, 246,391 candidates attained the minimum university entry grade, 45,258 more than in the 2023, which raised concerns on the cutoff point.
Ogamba said all 246,391 students who scored a mean grade of C+ and above are eligible for university placement. "The government has not re-introduced a cut-off point for admission to university.
