Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has handed over 40,000 students a second chance at joining universities after failing to secure their preferred degree or diploma courses.

On Tuesday, March 31, KUCCPS announced an online application system will open a six-day window for the second revision of degree, diploma and certificate choices.

The application process will be open from Thursday, April 2 running all through to Wednesday, April 15. 

“The second revision will be open for all the applicants who, on competitive selection after the first revision of choices, have not secured any of their choices for placement to universities and colleges,” KUCCPS chief executive John Muraguri stated in an interview with the Daily Nation.

Those who are eligible to apply are listed on the KUCCPS website though their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination index numbers.

Muraguri urged principals to send a reminder to their former students, “we urge principals of the secondary schools whose former students’ index numbers are listed on the website to inform the affected applicants to revise their choices.”

Students around the country who had missed on the first revision can use the new window to seek placement at a preferred University.

Muraguri also revealed the interested students would need to start the process afresh, “Those who did not apply in school and missed the first revision can use the new window to seek placement.”

The services are only available online after Huduma Centres closed doors to the public due to the Coronavirus Pandemic.

According to 2019 KCSE results, a total of 25,449 candidates scored C+ and above and are expected to join universities in September.

A huge chunk of 688,928 qualified for placement to tertiary institutions at various levels under government sponsorship.

The first revision exercise ended on Monday, March 9, after opening in February.
