This is a step by step guide on how to do your KUCCPS second Revision of courses on your KUCCPS online student portal.
Each year, the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) announces the opening of the online application system for prospective candidates looking forward to enrolling on higher learning education. KUCCPS revision of courses welcomes all candidates who sat for KCSE in the previous year(s) to participate in exercise before the closure of the revision deadline. Read on for useful tips and guidance on the first and second KUCCPS online revision.
The first revision exercise for degree students involves
candidates who competitively met the minimum aggregate of C+ (46 points) in the
previous year KCSE examinations. Various cut off cluster points were derived
after in-depth analysis and assessment of the declared capacity of our local
public and private universities for all degree programmes under the sponsorship
of the government.
The government has also advised candidates who scored at
least a C- (32 points) and D (18 points) to apply for Diploma and Certificate
courses under government sponsorship. The placement service expects prospective
applicants to keep track of important dates to make sure they are not locked
out.
The first revision gives out an equal opportunity for all
candidates to make informed career choices regardless of whether they applied
through their secondary schools or not. It is important to note is that
students application revision is only done online and no manual submissions
will be accepted or reviewed.
Revision of courses procedure
There are several KUCCPS programmes that candidates can
choose. Even with the diversity, it is essential to make an informed career
choice to get the most out of your training. Apparently, there are 529-degree
programmes, 66-universities, more than 200-diploma programmes, and about 122
colleges to choose. Below is an elaborate KUCCPS application system procedure
to help you with the revision process and avoid being locked out on this
crucial exercise.
- Navigate
to the KUCCPS student portal
- Log in
using your KCSE Index Number, examination year, and password
Note: Use your Birth Certificate number or KCPE Index number
to serve as your Initial Password.
- Click
on the button labelled “APPLICATION / REVISION.”
- Start
your revision by entering the programme codes for all the six choices
labelled as 1a, 1b, 1c, 2, 3, and 4.
- Click
on the button “Check requirements” to verify whether you are eligible for
a set of selected programmes.
- If you
qualify for all the programmes chosen, a submit button will appear. Your
qualification is based on whether you meet all the minimum requirements
set for particular courses. The “Submit” button will also work exclusively
for the programmes you have selected.
- If you
are applying for the first time, the system will prompt you with an MPESA
transaction code. Complete the payment through MPESA and then feed in the
transaction code to authorise your payment.
- Prospective
applicants are forewarned not to make any payment before checking their
eligibility status for a set of KUCCPS courses selected.
Note: Candidates who paid the placement fees through their
secondary schools will not be required to pay during their first and second
revisions.
KUCCPS expects candidates who fail to secure a choice in
their first revision following a competitive selection to participate in the
second revision on a mandatory basis to avoid losing out on the exercise. There
should be no cause of worry if your first application for higher learning
education was not accepted. By that, I mean that it is not necessarily your
fault you are now revising for KUCCPS courses.
That said, this section will guide you with an elaborate
procedure to make sure your applications are successfully accepted. The second
and final revision of certificate, diploma, and degree courses is equally open
to your choice but with limited courses on offer. For this reason, prospective
candidates should make degree, diploma, and certificate choices to different
unfilled capacities listed in the portal.
If you have the required points and yet your index numbers
is not documented on the KUCCPS website, then it
means that you have already secured a place in the career and institution that
you chose. This implies that the placement board accepted your first
application to join selected learning programmes, and you will receive official
communication at the end of the placement process.
The second revision of courses by KUCCPS is also another
lucrative opportunity for those candidates who failed to submit their
applications during secondary school and first revisions. Helpful guiding
information concerning available programmes in different institutions,
programme clusters, preceding cut-off points, weighted cluster points, and the
procedure of application are all accessible through the KUCCPS portal. Below is a
step by step guide to facilitating your revision of degree courses.
- Access
and log in to the KUCCPS student portal
- Click
on the link titled as “APPLICATION / REVISION” top initiate your revision
process.
- Provide
the programme codes for the revised choices recorded on the “New program
code” column.
- Tick
on the select to revise the column
- All
your choices will be displayed upon accurate completion of the form
- In
case of errors highlighted in red colour, make the necessary corrections
and save again.
- Remember
to always log out from your KUCCPS student portal for the safety of your
applications and personal information.
Note: On clicking the button indicated “View Previous
Choices” you can gain a glimpse of your earlier application choices. Clicking
on “View Current Choices” will show your current programmes.
