The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) on Tuesday, May 21, released university and TVET placement results for 2023 KCSE students.
According to the report released by CEO Agnes Wahome, 134,743 students were placed in public universities to pursue various degree programmes.
Over 18,000 students were also placed to pursue degree courses in private universities.
Wahome also revealed that more male students who sat for their national examinations in 2023, applied for degree courses at the universities.
Conversely, more female students applied for degree programmes at TVET institutions.
"85 per cent of 2023 KCSE candidates with C+ and above made applications where 76.2 per cent opted for Degree courses while the rest opted for Diploma (11,991).
"Bachelor of Education attracted the highest number of applicants. Male applicants continued to dominate placement to Degree programmes, sustaining a trend that has been observed since the beginning of the central placement system," the CEO revealed.
