Following the School Application and the First Revision of Degree, Diploma, Certificate and Artisan choices for the 2019/2020 placement process, the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has finished the first round of processing the applications.

Out of the 90,744 2018 KCSE candidates eligible for placement to Degree courses, 22,957 did not get any of their choices on a competitive basis. The index numbers of these candidates are listed here: https://www.kuccps.net/?q=content/second-revision-choices-20192020-placement.

The Placement Service therefore wishes to invite the unsuccessful candidates for the Second Revision of choices, which will be done online from March 15, 2019 to March 22, 2019.

The candidates will choose from programmes that have not filled their capacities after the First Revision, which have also been published on the Student’s Portal. Candidates whose index numbers do not appear on the list of unplaced students on the website have already provisionally secured one of their choices and will be informed after the conclusion of the placement process.
