    NEWS RELEASE

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    APPLICATIONS FOR COURSES IN UNIVERSITIES SURPASS 90%

    Nairobi – June, 21, 2021

    Nearly all the 2020 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) candidates who qualified
    for degree programmes applied for university places during the first revision that ended on
    June 11, 2021.

    Data from the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) indicate
    that out of the 142,540 Kenyan citizens who obtained the minimum university entry mean
    grade of C+ plus and above, 131,833 candidates or 92.5 per cent applied for their preferred
    courses in local public and private universities and TVET colleges.

    According KUCCPS Chief Executive Officer Dr. Agnes Mercy Wahome, 94,275 candidates have
    been placed to the degree courses they selected during the first phase of the placement
    exercise. All applicants who have secured a programme will be notified through their student
    portals on June 22, 2021.

    Dr Wahome said the Agency will from tomorrow, Tuesday, June 22, 2021 reopen the
    application portal to allow 32,718 candidates with C+ and above who missed out on their
    degree choices to reapply. She also called upon 10,707 candidates with C + and above from
    the KCSE class of 2020 who did not submit any application to do so.

    “We do not wish to leave behind any candidate qualified to join university hence our move to
    allow those yet to be placed to make a second revision,” Dr Wahome said.

    Dr Wahome said that all efforts were being made to track 10,707 candidates with C+ and
    above who failed to apply for courses in universities “in the spirit of leaving no one behind”.
    Dr Wahome said the high application rate was attributable to the robust public mobilisation
    campaign that KUCCPS conducted online, through the mass media and in the counties after
    the KCSE examination results were released, in line with and order by Education Cabinet
    Secretary Prof. George Magoha.

    The second revision exercise will close on July 5, 2021.
