Students wanting to get placement in universities, colleges, and TVETS have more time to do so after the Kenya University and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) extends the deadline until further notice.

KUCCPS CEO Mercy Wahome said the decision aims to ensure that all qualified students have sufficient time to submit their applications and avoid any potential disadvantages in the placement process.

Students participating in the current application cycle are considered first-time applicants, as school-level submissions have been phased out.

KUCCPS notes that this adjustment is intended to streamline the process and provide equal opportunity to all applicants.

"With government service payments now managed through the eCitizen platform, the validation process for KUCCPS applications may be delayed," KUCCPS said in the statement.

"To prevent complications, applicants are urged to avoid making double payments."

 Placement applications will be processed after all students have submitted their course choices. The Service announced two options for adjustment after the initial placement.

According to the announcement, these modifications will allow students who were not initially placed or could not enroll in their selected courses to reapply.
