General entry pathways
KUCCPS publishes these broad minimum grade thresholds for placement. They are a starting point, not a guarantee that you qualify for every course in that category.
| Study route | General minimum grade | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Degree | C+ and above | Programme-specific subject requirements and placement criteria still apply. |
| Diploma / Level 6 | C or C- | Check the specific programme for subject requirements and current availability. |
| Certificate / Level 5 | D+ or D | Check programme-specific requirements before selecting a course. |
| Artisan / Level 4 | D- or E | Explore official TVET options and confirm each programme’s requirements. |

Read the D+ guide →How to shortlist realistic options
- Start with your full results. Record your overall KCSE grade and subject grades relevant to the programmes you prefer.
- Search by programme. Use KUCCPS to check the exact minimum requirements for each course and institution.
- Compare your interests. Check what the course teaches and which career paths it can lead to before making choices.
- Keep alternatives. Consider degree, diploma, certificate and TVET routes where eligible, rather than relying on one competitive option.
- Recheck current information. Application windows, capacities and requirements can change by cycle.

Check the current requirements
Meeting a general minimum grade does not guarantee placement. Programme-specific subject requirements, available slots and KUCCPS placement criteria apply. Confirm current details before making choices.
