The 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) students can now change institutions they chose after the Kenya University and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) opened its portal for Inter-institution transfer.

The applicants who wish to change or transfer institutions were directed to make their applications through the placement service portal.

KUCCPS in its announcement stated that the process will also allow change of courses subject to applicants meeting applicable cut-off points. 

Applicants will have 30 days to make their preferred changes after which the portal shall be closed on July 4.

For one to be eligible for transfer, the applicant must have been placed in the program they are seeking a transfer from.

How to Apply

The applicant will be required to log in to the KUCCPS portal https://t.co/GgsBhEJQ1b 

Once on the portal, the applicant will be prompted to enter KCSE Index Number, KCSE Year and Password. 

Students have been advised to use the Birth Certificate or KCPE Number (as used in KCSE Exam Registration) as the initial password. 

After logging into the portal, the applicant can proceed to select their preferred institutions but must meet the cut-off points.

The announcement by KUCCPS comes a day after the National Assembly Education committee directed the Ministry of Education to withdraw all university admission letters.

The directive to recall the already-issued admission letters after alleged anomalies in the fees students are required to pay.

In the admission letters, the Ministry of Education allegedly imposed an entire amount of school fees on students regardless of the classification of the students using the new funding model.
