The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has announced its portal for students who wish to transfer from institutions will be open on June 5.
According to KUCCPS CEO Agnes Mercy Wahome, the agency anticipates a smooth process that will guarantee completion by July so all students can begin reporting in August.
Speaking on Tuesday, Wahome stated that all students qualified for government sponsorship should apply for Higher Education Loans before they report to school.
“153, 000 students who qualified (76 per cent) will get the Education funding. We will ensure a seamless process so that by August all students should be settled in their schools,” she said.
Wahome said the Bachelor of Education attracted the highest number of applicants from the 2023 cohort of the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE).

Further, she said over 30,000 students have applied to pursue education.
KUCCPS placed 10,263 students in Teacher Training Institutes, where they placed 734 students for Diploma Secondary Teacher Training and 9,529 for Teachers Training in Primary.
The agency also placed 19,653 students in Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC).
Wahome said male applicants dominated placement to degree programmes sustaining a trend observed since the beginning of the central placement system.
“In contrast, female students were the majority of those placed in TVET, from the 2020/2021 Cycle to the present.”
Students can log in to the KUCCPS portal to check their placement results.
During the 2023 KCSE Examination, a total of 899,453 candidates sat the Examination.
