EXTENSION OF CENTRE/SCHOOL APPLICATION DEADLINE FOR KCSE CANDIDATES
NAIROBI, April 5, 2021
The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) opened its online application system on January 6, 2021 up to March 31, 2021 for the 2020 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) candidates to apply for placement to degree, diploma, craft certificate and artisan courses under Government sponsorship into universities and other training institutions.
KUCCPS wishes to extend the application period to April 16, 2021. This is meant to allow the schools that did not meet the deadline to submit applications for their KCSE candidates indicating the institutions that they wish to join and the courses they would like to pursue.
School Principals are therefore required to ensure that all their KCSE examination candidates participate in this exercise by submitting their course of study choices and contact information to KUCCPS through their school’s portal.
All Principals are reminded to ensure that they download a PDF copy of the application sheet, sign, stamp the completed applications, scan and send the documents to KUCCPS via info@kuccps.ac.ke immediately
KUCCPS wishes all the 2020 KCSE examination candidates success in the ongoing examinations.
