The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) allows students to apply for placement in institutions ranging from universities to colleges and polytechnics for various courses.
Students with a grade of C+ or above in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education are eligible for admission to the universities for degree programs.
For the rest, stakeholders encourage them to apply for diploma, certificate, or artisan courses in colleges and polytechnics. Like students who qualify for university admission, students in colleges also receive support for their education expenses.
According to KUCCPS data, a total of 272 public colleges under the Ministry of Education offering Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs are eligible for HELB loans.
The move is aimed at strengthening education in TVETs and other skill-based colleges and further boosting enrolment in the technical institutions.
Students pursuing Diploma and Certificate courses in approved TVET institutions are highly encouraged to apply.
