The University of Nairobi will admit 192 students who scored an 'A' grade while JKUAT will take 53 students as Moi takes 30.
Kenyatta University will admit 17 students, Technical University of Kenya 13 students and Egerton University 2 students.
Two students who scored an A were admitted to private universities, Lodenyo Lilian Angayo at Kenya Methodist University to study medicine and Mwawasi Divine Kristy at the Kenya Highland Evangelical University to study education.
The Education Cabinet Secretary announced where 90,755 students, who had qualified for higher learning institutions would be placed.
Reports by Daily Nation indicated that Magoha also warned the institutions against unplanned expansion, tribalism and duplication of courses.
The admissions, which were done by the Kenya Universities and Colleges Placement Service (KUCCPS) saw 89,486 students enrolled for degree programs.
Most of the 'A' students will study surgery, law, engineering, dental surgery, industrial chemistry, actuarial science and pharmacy.
It is clear that the top achievers preferred well-established private and public institutions.
