KUCCPS List of Diploma and Certificate Courses for candidates who scored below C+ in 2021 KCSE
KUCCPS: Following the declaration of the 2021 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education-KCSE 2021 Examinations by the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Education, it is evident that only a handful of this year’s KCSE candidates hit the Kuccps Placement Passmark for universities, approximately 10 percent. According to Knec statistics, only 145,145 students managed the University entry grade, with nearly 700,000 students missing the mark. However, the students who scored D plain and above still have a chance to pursue Diploma and Certificate Courses in higher learning Institutions.
The students who scored C and C minus qualify to enroll for Diploma Courses in either of the 31 Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions across the country.
Also, the 495,686 students who scored D+ and below can sign up for certificate programs – craft certificate courses for those with D plain and above and artisan certificates for those who scored D plus and below.
“The number of candidates with a minimum TVET Diploma Courses qualification of grade C- and above in 2021 was 325,896 (39.27%). We, therefore, need to invest more in TVET Institutions where the bulk of our KCSE Examinations graduands will study,” Magoha stated as he released the KCES results.
The students who scored below C+ can also apply for College and TVET Institution Placement under the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS). Those who get selected to the Colleges and Tertiary Institutions are eligible for government sponsorship through the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB).
