Applications are submitted online from the comfort of your home because the placement application process has been automated by visiting the KUCCPS student portal https(colon)(double forward slash)students(dot)kuccps(dot)net thanks to the digital revolution.
Every academic year, the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) publishes new cut-off / Cluster points for academic programs sponsored by the government and private sector.
Before getting admitted to a university to pursue a certain course, there are criteria set to be considered.
The main considerations are the university cluster point requirements and course cluster points requirements too.
If you meet the cluster point required by a given university, you will easily be admitted without any problem.
what is the meaning of cluster points?
The maximum points for any cluster are known as the Raw Cluster Points (four subjects). Assuming a student received an “A” in each of the four core cluster subjects (12*4), there are 48 points.
A KCSE 2022 student who wants to join any tertiary institution must meet the listed minimum requirements below
- Diploma courses, a grade of C- (minus) or higher
- craft certificate courses, an average grade of “D”
- Degree courses, an average KCSE mean grade of a C plus and above
CLUSTER POINTS CALCULATION
If you want to calculate your cluster points, KUCCPS has provided a formula that you should use to easily have your points calculated.

You will be able to see if you are eligible for the course once you log into the site because they have calculated for you.
The formula for calculating is not accurate because it has an error of plus or minus 2.
