KUCCPS Makes Inter-university Transfer Easier, Online Applications Opened


Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) officially took over processing of admission of Government Sponsored Students to universities and colleges, which hitherto has been partially the responsibility of the Joint Admissions Board (JAB) formed under the Universities Act No. 42 of 2012.

Unlike JAB which only admitted students to public universities, KUCCPS has the responsibility of placing Government sponsored students to both public and private universities and colleges.

Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Board (KUCCPS) is responsible for the placement of government sponsored students to universities and colleges, disseminating information on available programmes, their costs and areas of study as prioritized by the government.

The placement service is in charge of developing career programmes for students as well as collecting and retaining data relating to university and college placement. At the same time, KUCCPS is tasked with advising the government on matters relating to university and college students placement as well as performing any other functions assigned to it under the act.

KUCCPS has developed an online system which will make easy the process of inter university transfer in the country. Students will now be able to apply for inter university transfer via KUCCPS online application system.
