Education CS says KUCCPS portal to be opened next Week for new university applications Education Cabinet Secretary, CS, Julius Migos Ogamba. Online education courses The Ministry has declared that the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) will launch its application portal prior to the month’s conclusion, allowing more than 200,000 students who have attained eligibility for university admission in the 2024 KCSE exams to seek placement. Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba informed the National Assembly Committee on Education on Wednesday that the placement procedure will begin shortly, despite lingering uncertainties regarding funding. KUCCPS CEO Alice Wahome “There was a lack of clear comprehension regarding KUCCPS and university financing, particularly as the existing funding framework was influenced by a judicial ruling. We agreed to first initiate the KUCCPS portal. Furthermore, we concurred that by the close of this month, the portals would be accessible for university candidates. We are currently deliberating on the next steps and addressing associated concerns,” Ogamba shared with MPs. KUCCPS Chief Executive Officer Agnes Mercy Wahome revealed that the agency had acquired details on available spaces from universities and was awaiting board sanction to officially announce the precise date for the portal’s opening. “This week, we received the approved capacities from universities. They have declared a total capacity of around 300,000, so it’s evident that the number exceeds the students who qualified for admission. We will facilitate placement for all qualified students who apply,” Wahome informed Nation.
