The opportunity is available for Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) holders from 2014 to 2023, as well as previous applicants who were unsuccessful.

The application deadline is June 21, 2024.

Eligible candidates have been advised to access the KUCCPS Student’s Portal via students.kuccps.net or the KUCCPS website www.kuccps.ac.ke.

How to apply

To apply, students need to log in using their KCSE Index Number, KCSE year, and Password, which is either their Birth Certificate Number or KCPE Index Number. After logging in, they should navigate to "KMTC Programmes" to view available courses and their minimum requirements.

“Applicants will only be able to apply for courses where they meet minimum requirements,” the Placement Service added.

They are to download the detailed PDF document for reference, and select their preferred courses by entering the Programme Codes in order of priority. They then click “KMTC Application” and “Apply Now” to submit the application.

The application process includes a payment of Sh1,500, with instructions provided upon submission.

However, unsuccessful applicants from the last KMTC application need not pay again but should use the previous Payment Reference Code to apply.

For payment, candidates should click the "Click Here to Pay" link, follow the eCitizen payment instructions, use Business Number 222222 and the Payment Reference Code for M-Pesa payments, complete the payment using the M-PESA menu on their phone, and enter the eCitizen Payment Reference Code to finalize the application submission.

“Go back to the application window and use the eCitizen Payment Reference Code to submit your application. (The same Ref. Code will be required for any subsequent changes to your application; hence, you are advised to retain it.) Do not use M-Pesa transaction code,” the placement service said.

The placement service said successful submissions will be confirmed by a message on the dashboard. Applicants have been encouraged to frequently check the KUCCPS portal for further details and updates.
