Those who have never applied for KUCCPS placement at the school level may do so during this time.
The placement agency states that the application portal is currently accessible and will close in June 2023.
All candidates who received the C+, plus, or higher entry-level grade for universities.
Under the government-sponsored scheme, each of these will be guaranteed a spot in a university, whether it be public or private.
Now, applicants with grades of C+ (plus) and higher will compete for open positions and university courses.

The applicants are those who registered to take the KCSE exams in 2021.
Other KCSE 2022 applicants who won’t be enrolled in degree programs will be sent to colleges and TVET programs.
KUCCPS Portal 2023 Opens
Ezekiel Machogu, the education cabinet secretary, issued a decision that led to the opening of the Kuccps student portal.
“I am happy to report that KUCCPS is prepared to move on with KCSE candidates’ placement in universities and colleges.
In light of this, I would like to inform you that the placement options have been revised for:
- Degree
- Diploma
- Artisan and Craft Courses
All will now begin. He declares that the portal is now fully open.
Machogu also declared that students would be admitted to universities, colleges, and TVETs for the academic year 2023–2024.
That will start in September 2023.
By the end of July 2023, all applicants will be aware of the colleges and universities to which they have been accepted.
With the next academic year starting in September 2023, this will make it possible for our higher education institutions to enroll the students, according to the CS.
By the end of July 2023, all applicants will be aware of the colleges and universities to which they have been accepted.
As a result, the students will be eligible to enroll at our higher education institutions starting in September 2023.
He added that the parents and pupils would have plenty of time to appropriately prepare.
KCSE 2022 test review
Candidates for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) who earned the coveted grade A increased somewhat in 2022 compared to 2021.
Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu noted that 1,146 students received an overall grade of A when announcing the 2022 KCSE results.
This represents an improvement of 0.13% from the 1,138 candidates who received the grade in the 2021 tests.
A total of 6,408 candidates passed the exams with at least an A- (minus).
It was also discovered that 489,081 candidates received grades of D or lower.
Successes in the KCSE 2022 include a decrease in the number of grade Es.
This represented more than half of the registered candidates who took the test.
At the same time, Machogu revealed that 30,822 of the exam-takers received an E mark, down from 46,151 in 2021.
In comparison to 2021, when there were 145,776 applicants, there were 173,345 applicants in 2022, constituting 19.03% of the total.
A total of 881,416 applicants took the 2022 KCSE; of those, 443,644 male applicants and 437,772 female applicants—representing 50.33% and 49.69%, respectively—took the test.
Kenyans were once more a little perplexed by the CS.This is because he misread the list of top performers from the KCSE results for 2022.
Machogu broke with convention when he announced the 2022 results at Mtihani House earlier this year by omitting to read the names of the top pupils.
Kenyans’ reactions to his action were conflicting, but they all wanted to know who the top achievers were.
The top 10 scorers in the 2022 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) results were not read out by Machogu on December 21.
Machogu did not identify the learner, merely revealing that the top student in the national exams received 431 out of a possible 500 points.
He made no mention of the grade the second student received, ostensibly to do away with ranking.
His decision surprised Kenyans and caused controversy because many had been hoping for an exhaustive list.
Discussion of university entrance exams
Kenyan universities have now been requested to implement their own admittance examinations in order to verify that the best colleges enroll legitimate pupils.
This is done to make sure that only eligible students are admitted to Kenya’s top colleges, generating workers who are knowledgeable and skilled.
The aforementioned proposal was made in response to a public discussion about Kenya’s educational system that took place in Kapsaret.
Participants in this meeting included lawmakers, teachers, and members of the general public.
The Ministry of Education should cease classifying schools, in Mugo’s opinion, as doing so is discriminatory.
The pressure to succeed has caused principals to sacrifice their moral standards in order to uphold both the reputation of their schools and their positions.
Mugo also noted that certain schools’ mean scores have unexpectedly increased as a result of pressure to ensure that students enroll in universities.
According to Nyamira Woman Rep Prof. Jerusha Momanyi, there is speculation that students who receive high KCSE scores pick top-notch programs.
Unfortunately, several of them leave after their second year in an effort to defer or move between faculties.
The school system was asked to make new adjustments to stop exam cheating during this public involvement forum.
Only deserving students will be admitted through these processes to the institutions where they belong.
In this case, the Ministry of Education stops classifying institutions and lets individual universities decide on their own admission standards.
Other requests to block the process of releasing national test results were made.
Participants in the ongoing public hearings have been urged to give their input on the alleged irregularities in the KCSE exams of 2022.
