INDEPENDENT HOW-TO GUIDE
Find courses that match your KCSE grade
Use official KUCCPS programme requirements to explore degree, diploma, certificate and artisan options that may fit your KCSE results.
Your overall KCSE grade is a starting point, not a complete eligibility check. Course-specific subject requirements, programme availability and the current placement cycle also matter. Use this guide to shortlist options and confirm each one with KUCCPS.
01
Before you begin
- Identify your KCSE examination year and the placement route relevant to you.
- Think about the subjects you enjoy and the work you may want to do, not only the overall grade.
- Use official KUCCPS websites directly. AGI never needs your password or one-time codes.
02
Steps to follow
- Open the official KUCCPS Student’s Portal using the link below.
- Search programmes by course, institution or qualification, then inspect the minimum KCSE and subject requirements shown for each programme.
- Use the broad placement thresholds as an initial guide: degree (C+ and above), Diploma/Level 6 (C or C-), Certificate/Level 5 (D+ or D), and Artisan/Level 4 (D- or E).
- Shortlist several programmes that fit your results, required subject grades, interests and practical preferences.
- Before submitting choices, confirm the current application window, programme availability and instructions on KUCCPS’s official website.

Important notes
- These are broad minimum grades, not a guarantee of eligibility for every programme at that grade.
- Programmes can require particular grades in Mathematics, English or Kiswahili, sciences or other subjects. Selection also depends on the published requirements, available capacity and placement criteria.
- Requirements and programme availability can change by cycle. KUCCPS’s current Student’s Portal is the source of truth.
