The 2025/2026 Application Window: Timelines and Access
The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has kicked off its much-anticipated 2025/2026 application season. If you sat for your KCSE exams in 2024 or you missed out in previous years, this is your window to secure a seat for degree, diploma, or certificate courses at universities and TVET institutions across Kenya.
Applications opened on March 28, 2025, and you have until April 30, 2025, to submit your choices. But that’s not all—if you miss this period or need to revise your options, there’s a second chance to tweak your application from May 18 to 27, 2025. This revision window caters both for fresh candidates who missed the initial phase and for students from earlier years hoping for opportunities at TVET colleges.
Who’s Eligible, and How Does It Work?
Wondering if you qualify? For degree courses, the magic number is a KCSE mean grade of C+. TVET options are more flexible, catering to a wide range of students—from those with a C minus down to an E, depending on your chosen path and level.
Applications take place online through the KUCCPS Student’s Portal, the main hub where you view courses, search for institutions, and get details on minimum requirements. If internet access is shaky or you have questions, help isn’t far: there are 63 university and college help desks, plus 58 Huduma Centres spread throughout the country, all ready to offer hands-on support. You can walk in, get real advice, and even access computer labs to complete your application if needed.
This cycle stands out for its clear approach to career guidance. KUCCPS is not just a placement body anymore—they’re leaning into helping you make informed choices, matching your KCSE scores with available courses and future career prospects. Government sponsorship for degree and TVET placements also means you’re looking at more affordable education routes.
The application process walks you through reviewing available courses, checking out what each institution offers, and double-checking you meet the entry thresholds. For diploma and certificate courses—hot picks for those keen on practical skills—TVETs accept applicants with C to E grades, opening doors for students often left out of university tracks.
This year’s application also features a push for teacher training programs, both for primary and secondary education. If you want to become a teacher, there are specific paths, each with its own grade minimum—so it’s worth reading requirements closely before ticking those boxes on your portal choices.
With deadlines and requirements clearly set, KUCCPS has made sure there’s information and support wherever you are. It’s a streamlined process, but don’t wait until the last minute—check out the portal, talk to an advisor at your nearest center, and start mapping out the next steps for your education journey.
