Students who scored a minimum of C– (minus) in the 2016 KCSE exams have been asked to apply for diploma courses which will be funded by the government.
This was announced by the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Services (KUCCPS).
KUCCPS also announced the opening of the application beginning Monday and will close on February 17.
“Candidates who did not apply for placement through their schools may use this opportunity to submit their choices,” KUCCPS CEO John Muraguri said.
The placement service board has set the cut-off for placement in degree programmes under government sponsorship at a minimum aggregate of C+ (46 points).
Moi, Kenyatta and University of Nairobi will admit the highest number of students in selection that is set to be concluded by April. Last year Moi University admitted 5,825 students, followed by Kenyatta at 5,598 and Nairobi at 5,374.
