The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) sets cut-off points for students seeking admission into the Bachelor of Commerce degree program.
The cut-off points will be used to place candidates who sat the 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations into degree programs for the 2025/2026 academic year.
These cut-off points represent the minimum cluster points attained by the last student admitted to each program during the 2024 KUCCPS placement cycle.
They vary from year to year depending on factors such as demand for a specific course, the capacity of institutions, and the overall performance of candidates in the national examinations.
However, meeting the cut-off point does not automatically guarantee placement, as competition and program capacity are also considered in the selection process.
Bachelor of Commerce Degree Programme
The Bachelor of Commerce program is a comprehensive business program designed to equip students with both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to thrive in a dynamic business environment.
