The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) Chief Executive Officer, Agnes Wahome, has outlined how the placement service determines the cut-off points and the key considerations when placing a learner.
Addressing education stakeholders during the 2nd Biennial University Funding Conference, held between 26 and 27 February, Wahome revealed that KUCCPS considers merit as the most important factor in student placement.
She went on to disclose that the placement service operates a computer system that receives results from the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) and ranks all students based on the programmes they have selected.
According to her, once the learners have been ranked, the last student admitted to a particular programme determines what is commonly referred to as the cut-off points.
