What does KUCCPS entail?
KUCCPS is an entity established in 2012 under the University Act to coordinate government-sponsored students' placement into various undergraduate, diploma, and certificate programmes offered in Kenyan institutions. It was established after dissolving the Joint Admission Board (JAB).
JAB was the leading player in placing students in universities before KUCCPS was formulated. The institution does its best to serve every student by availing of all the requirements on its website. KUCCPS also provides inter-institution transfer for students who wish to transfer to other institutions of higher learning.
