The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has released a list of degree programmes in Kenyan universities with cluster points of 22.9 and below, giving students with lower scores more options for placement.
Cluster points are calculated from a candidate’s performance in four subjects relevant to a specific programme.
The score helps determine whether a student qualifies for admission into a particular course through the KUCCPS placement system.
Across Kenyan universities, several programmes fall within this cluster range. The courses cover different disciplines, including business, information technology, environmental science, tourism, education, and the creative arts.
Several universities offer a Bachelor of Commerce with a cluster point of 21.375. These include Murang’a University of Technology, Kirinyaga University, University of Embu, KCA University, Pwani University, Kibabii University, Maasai Mara University, South Eastern Kenya University, Kaimosi Friends University, Catholic University of Eastern Africa, Rongo University, Taita Taveta University, Zetech University, and Mount Kenya University.
