Ready to take the next step in your academic journey? The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) online system is your gateway to securing a spot in universities, TVET institutions, and more. This guide will walk you through the seamless process of applying for courses, ensuring you’re well-prepared to make informed decisions about your future.

  1. Access the Student Portal

    Log in to the KUCCPS student portal at https://students.kuccps.net/ using your KCSE index number as the username. Enter the KCSE year and use your Birth Certificate Number or KCPE Index Number (as used in KCSE Exam Registration) as your initial password.

  2. Explore and Select Programmes

    Browse through the available programmes and move the ones that interest you into the Course Basket. This step helps you narrow down your options and work with a shorter list when finalizing your course selections.

  3. Enter Programme Codes

    Once you’ve settled on your preferred courses, enter the programme codes using the Application/Revision tab. Ensure you meet the minimum subject requirements for each course, as your selection will depend on your overall performance and available capacity.

  4. Save and Review Your Choices

    You can either write down the programme codes for later application or add them to your Course Basket by clicking the ‘ADD’ button next to each course. Access your saved courses by clicking the ‘Course Basket’ menu item or the ‘Basket’ icon.

  5. Search by Institution (Optional)

    If you prefer, you can search for courses by institution using the Institutions tab. Keep in mind that your selection will still depend on your performance and available capacity.

  6. Submit and Pay the Application Fee

    After confirming that the programme codes entered are correct, submit your application. Follow the instructions to pay the placement processing fee, which is required after selecting your courses and awaiting approval.

Time Estimate: Approximately 30-45 minutes
