The deadline for submitting applications for placement at universities and colleges has been extended until further notice by the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS).
The organization’s CEO, Mercy Wahome, released a statement on Sunday stating that the goal of the action is to guarantee that all qualified students have adequate time to submit their applications and to prevent any unfavorable outcomes during the placement process.
The KUCCPS explained key elements of the application procedure in its statement.
Notably, since school-level applications have been stopped, all students taking part in the current cycle of applications are regarded as first-time applicants.
As per KUCCPS, the purpose of this change is to guarantee equitable opportunities for all candidates and expedite the procedure.
“With government service payments now managed through the eCitizen platform, the validation process for KUCCPS applications may be delayed. To prevent complications, applicants are urged to avoid making double payments,” KUCCPS said in the statement.
The KUCCPS states that placement applications will only be handled after all students have turned in their course selections in order to guarantee equity.
Two revision chances were announced by the Service after the first placement procedure.
The announcement claims that these adjustments will enable students to reapply if they were not placed the first time round or if they were unable to get the courses they wanted.
