KUCCPS Updates New Degree Cut-Off Points and Requirements.
In advance of the 2026 university admission cycle, the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has formally upgraded its web platform with new minimum subject criteria and degree cut-off points.
The placement body uploaded all degree programs, updated cut-off points, institutions, and their codes prior to the portal’s inauguration, according to a spot check conducted by Teachersonline.co.ke.
Candidates for the 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) are anticipated to use the updated cluster cut-off points as a guide when choosing their desired degree programs.
The update states that KUCCPS has divided courses into 20 clusters, each of which has a different level of competition depending on institutional capability, demand, and available slots.
Notably, courses in Social Sciences, Media, and Arts (Cluster 3) have the highest number of programme options, while specialised fields such as Law (Cluster 1) remain limited.
The portal shows that competitive clusters such as Engineering (Cluster 5), Business-related courses (Cluster 2), and Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (Cluster 15) offer a wide range of programme choices of up to 20 different courses each.
The cut-off points are not uniform across all institutions, but instead, they vary depending on the university, meaning a course may have different cut-off requirements at different universities.
For instance, in the latest update, Moi University has the lowest cut-off points for Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (42.066) and Law (33.699) among all the listed public universities under these categories.
Applicants can access the full list of updated degree programmes, including minimum entry requirements, institution types, programme codes, and cut-off points, through the application portal: Kuccps.net
To log in, use your KCSE index number, select your KCSE year, and enter your KCPE index number as the password. Once logged in, proceed to ‘All programmes’. Students can also manually filter the list to easily find and select their preferred courses.
The application window is expected to open soon, and candidates are urged to carefully review all requirements before submitting their choices to avoid placement challenges.
