KUCCPS Cluster Calculation Formula and Courses offered
TheKUCCPS Cluster Calculation Formula and Courses offered. The calculation of the cluster points has been made easier by the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS).
Students who received an overall grade of C+ or higher will be chosen to participate in the degree placement process in both private and public institutions.
CLUSTER CALCULATION FORMULA & KUCCPS COURSES
The formula used to calculate the cluster points is w=√(r/m*api/spi)*48.

This means that a student’s grade point average, or GPA, which is used to determine how many points they will receive, will be based on their performance in four subjects (GPA).
The formula is updated each year to account for modifications to the academic system.
Students can compute their cluster points using the formula and enroll in the university courses of their choosing.
