KCSE English Grade Will Determine Course Placement
KCSE English Grade Will Determine Course Placement. It is now obvious that students who desire to enroll in mathematics-related courses must have obtained a minimum KCSE grade of C plain in either English or Kiswahili.
However, the C+ (plus) admission grade for university will remain unchanged under this new strategy. This grade will have a significant impact on how some disciplines like
- computer science
- ICT
- economics
- statistics
- finance
These disciplines are required to follow one’s desired course.
Students’ placement to course in the past was determined solely by the grade scored in Mathematics subject.
The most recent changes stipulate that students must also be proficient in either English or Kiswahili in order to be eligible for placement under government sponsorship.

The university authorities’ suggestion might be a way to guarantee that applicants to the agriculture, building, and construction programs have graduate-level communication abilities.
A number of education courses that have been simplified as part of the concept will also be included as a factor that will be determined by this criteria.
Education stakeholders have suggested decreasing the prerequisite for Biology, Physics, or Chemistry for students seeking a Bachelor of Science with Education from a C+ (plus) to a C plain
As a result, mathematics is no longer a necessity for pursuing a Bachelor of Education- according to stakeholders.
Learners will now only need a C (plain) kcse mean grade in either English or Kiswahili to be admitted.
Students interested in environmental sciences will now have a wider selection of subjects to chose from when applying to universities thanks to the addition of Geography as an alternative to Chemistry and Agricultural as an alternative to Biology.
The changes are considered as providing a softer landing because when the results of the national Exams are released, many students typically perform better in Agriculture and Geography than in Mathematics and Chemistry.
