The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) is a State corporation established under the Universities Act, 2012 to coordinate the placement of Government-sponsored students to universities and colleges, among other functions.

KUCCPS is pleased to announce that the online application portal is now open to all secondary school principals to upload programme choices submitted by the 2021 KCSE examination candidates in their respective schools/examination centres.

The portal may be accessed by all schools/examination centres with 2021 KCSE candidates to apply for degree, diploma, certificate and artisan certificate courses in universities and colleges under government sponsorship.

School principals are urged to ensure that each of their KCSE candidates provides their programme choices in the various categories (degree, diploma, craft certificate and artisan) and submit those choices via the Principal’s Portal.
