The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has reopened its portal for one week to allow for the second revision of university and college programme choices, as well as for new applications.
In a notice on Saturday, May 31, KUCCPS urged students who have yet to apply for courses or those who were unsuccessful in their first application to take advantage of this opportunity and apply before the closing date set for June 6, 2025.
“The KUCCPS application system is open for the second revision of university, college, and programme choices. KCSE holders who have not applied for courses or those who applied but were unsuccessful are invited to apply. The system will close on June 6, 2025,” the notice read.
According to KUCCPS, students from the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) cohort should log in to http://students.kuccps.net to access the second revision.
Once the applicant is in the portal, they will need to enter their KCSE index number, KCSE year, and password.
Candidates are encouraged to use their Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) index number or birth certificate number as their password to access the portal.
After logging in, an applicant will be required to scroll through the available programmes and either add or revise the courses selected in the bracket.
The announcement comes three days after the service, through a statement on Tuesday, May 27, announced the closure of the first revision of university choices, which it had opened on Saturday, May 18.
“Deadline Alert! KUCCPS application system closes tonight, May 27, 2025, for the first Revision of Choices to universities. Log in and apply,” the notice read.
KUCCPS confirmed that the 2024 form four leavers who did not apply for any course before the first application window closed were permitted to choose their preferred programmes.
In a statement on Friday, March 28, when KUCCPS announced the opening of the first application, the placement service confirmed that the application portal includes 40 public universities eligible for government scholarships and the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB).
The application, according to KUCCPS, also included 29 private universities which are only eligible for HELB loans and 263 public colleges which are eligible for government scholarships and HELB.
