To decentralize KUCCPS placement services, the placement body has undertaken major steps that encompass establishing a downloadable app that can be installed on mobile phones. Besides, KUCCPS has got various huduma agents stationed at the various huduma centers across over 20 counties for easier application for kuccps placement this year. Currently, KUCCPS is in the process of releasing the new cut-off and cluster points per gender for the KCSE 2021 candidates whose results were recently announced. There are speculations that KUCCPS may raise 2022 Cut off points to B- for girls and B plain for boys. The affirmative action parameter will thus not be eliminated since it will ensure continued protection of the well-being of the girl-child in Kenya.
