Free KUCCPS Course Checker: How to Find the Courses You Qualify For in Minutes

A course checker saves you hours of reading long lists. You enter your KCSE grades, and it shows the courses you qualify for. Here is how to use one well, and what to look at in the results.

What a course checker does

A good checker compares your KCSE results against every programme at your chosen level. It looks at three things:

• Your mean grade: does it meet the minimum for the course?
• Your subject grades: do you meet the minimum subject requirements?
• Your cluster points (degrees only): do they reach the cut-off for the course?

What to enter

• Your grade in each KCSE subject
• The level you want: degree, diploma, certificate, KMTC, TTC, Utalii or artisan

What the results mean

• Courses you qualify for: your mean grade and subjects meet the requirements.
• Cut-offs: for degrees, the latest cluster points of the last admitted student. Compare them with your points.
• Programme codes: the 7-character codes you enter on the KUCCPS portal.
• Institution, location and type: public or private, and where you would study.

How to use the results

• Make a shortlist of courses you would actually enjoy and attend.
• Mix ambitious and safe options. Use cut-offs to judge which is which.
• Check the programme code against the course name and institution before you apply.
• Confirm on the KUCCPS portal. The official portal decides placement.
