KUCCPS CEO Explains What Students Should Do to Get the Best Courses

The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Dr. Agnes Wahome, has explained what 2025 KCSE students should do to ensure they get their preferred degree and TVET courses.

In an interview, Wahome said the students sat for their exams in 2025 and had until September to decide on the courses and institutions.

She stated that this is ample time for the students to explore all the courses and choose those they qualify for and are interested in.

“These students did their exams last year, and most of the institutions of higher learning they will be going into will be in September if they want government support. They have a lot of time, let them explore,” Wahome said.

Smartphones for Research

The CEO said students have access to smartphones and should use them to research the best courses to pursue with their KCSE grades.

“Most of them now have smartphones, let them use the opportunity to think through, with their grade and their interest in life, what can they do,” she said.

Additionally, the CEO said students should select mentors to guide them during the application process.

She said the mentors should be identified early to advise the students on their preferred career choices.

“Visiting the institutions and working as volunteers to see so that by the time they are making their applications, they are very clear what they want to get into,” the CEO said.
