📻 Breaking It Down

NAIROBI, Kenya May 16 – The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has opened a second application window, allowing Form Four leavers to revise their university choices or submit new applications for placement in universities and colleges across the country.

The application portal will be open from May 16 to May 22, following the closure of the first application cycle on May 6.

KUCCPS has urged all 2025 KCSE candidates who qualified for degree programmes but either missed placement or were unsuccessful to log into the system and apply again.

According to KUCCPS Chief Executive Officer Agnes Wahome, applicants who secured provisional placement have already been notified via SMS and through the KUCCPS online portal.

“We call upon all 2025 Form Four leavers who qualified for degree programmes but have not applied for placement, and those who applied but have not secured a course, to log into the system and apply again,” she said.

KUCCPS revealed that a total of 212,510 students who scored a minimum grade of C+ and above in the 2025 KCSE examination have applied for various courses. This represents 79.1% of the 268,714 candidates who attained C+ and above.

The placement body noted that several high-demand programmes, including Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Engineering, were fully filled during the first application phase due to intense competition for limited slots.

As a result, these programmes have been temporarily removed from the application portal.

Students who missed out on these competitive courses have been encouraged to consider other available alternatives across universities and colleges.
