KUCCPS Intake 2021/2022: Application Form, Fees, And Guidelines

KUCCPS Intake 2021… Have you recently received your KCSE results and are stuck on what to do next? There is no need to panic because the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) is here for you. KUCCPS 2021/2022 intake is currently ongoing, and all suitable applicants are invited to submit their applications to join their universities or colleges of choice.

KUCCPS was established in the year 2012 under the University Act to synchronise the deployment of students to various colleges and universities in the country. The corporation coordinates government-sponsored students’ placement into various undergraduate, Postgraduate, Diploma, Certificate, and other programs offered by the relevant institutions.

KUCCPS 2021/2022 Intake

The state corporation invites applications from qualified students for admission into various higher learning institutions. The application deadline for the different courses was on 22nd February 2021. However, it was extended to allow students ample time to select their courses and to allow those students who had not applied for the different courses to apply.

Those who had applied are allowed to reconsider their courses as new programs have been recently approved and uploaded to the portal. This will give the applicant a great opportunity to change courses.

The deadline for the second phase of the application has not yet been communicated. Once the KUCCPS application portal is closed, new applications will not be considered. The students are advised to register now while the applications are still ongoing.
