With the conclusion of the 2024/2025 KUCCPS placement cycle on 30th April 2025, thousands of applicants across Kenya are now eagerly waiting to find out where they have been placed for their higher education studies.
The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) is responsible for placing government-sponsored students into universities, colleges, and TVET institutions based on their KCSE performance and selected choices.
While KUCCPS typically notifies successful applicants via SMS, not all candidates receive these messages due to network issues or incorrect contact details. As such, applicants are strongly advised to check their placement results online.
