“All the candidates who scored a mean of C+ or above will be absorbed in universities and TVET institutions of their choice. The remaining over 600,159 who are eligible will apply to various programmes in polytechnics and other technical training institutions,” said Prof Magoha
“The revision timeline will allow the institutions of higher education to admit the students in the new academic year beginning September 2021. I announce the government’s commitment to providing an opportunity for every student to pursue careers of their choice,”
On placement, the CS noted that the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) would be reopening its systems for new applications and to allow candidates to review the courses they had selected earlier. “Candidates who were not able to apply for placement or wish to change will have the opportunity to submit their choices or review their applications.”
The CS noted that there had been a shift of mindset in admission into institutions of higher learning, with more students who score highly in KCSE opting to join technical institutions. “I was very happy with the 2019 examination cycle because some of the students who chose TVETs over universities had scores of A, and it was by choice,” he said.
