The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has outlined a procedure students should use to boost their chances of securing their preferred courses.
The placement service, in a notice dated Wednesday, April 2, urged applicants to enhance their likelihood of securing their preferred degree courses by applying for specific courses at universities where the previous cut-off point for the programme is lower than their cluster weight.
Cluster weight refers to a student's computed performance in the four subjects required for a specific degree program, while a cut-off point refers to the weighted cluster points of the last student admitted to a particular program during a given admission cycle.
According to KUCCPS, the previous year's cut-off points are provided to assist candidates in selecting degree courses they are most likely to secure based on competition.
