How to Revise Your KUCCPS Course Choices (And When It Is Worth Doing)

Many students apply quickly, then realise they picked wrong courses. KUCCPS usually opens a revision window so you can change your choices. Here is how to use it wisely.

What revision means

Revision means changing the programme choices in your KUCCPS application. According to K24, you can revise or delete choices before the application deadline. Dates, fees and rules for each window are announced by KUCCPS, so check the official portal for the current ones.

When to revise

• Your cluster points are lower than the cut-off. If last year cut-off for your first choice is much higher than your points, you are unlikely to get it.
• You picked a course you do not really want. Do not leave a course in your list that you would not attend.
• You discovered a better option. Another institution, location or level may suit you more.
• You made a mistake. A wrong programme code is the most common reason to revise.

How to revise safely

• Log in to the student portal with your index number, year and password.
• Open the application or revision page and look at your current choices.
• Check each programme code carefully before you save. Codes are 7 characters, and a single wrong character points to a different course.
• Keep a balance: include some courses you are likely to get, not only ambitious ones.
• Confirm the change on your dashboard or application history after you save.

How to choose better the second time

• Compare your cluster points with the last cut-off for each course. A cut-off is the cluster points of the last student admitted, so treat it as a guide, not a guarantee.
• Check the minimum subject requirements for every course.
• Look at both public and private institutions, and at diploma and TVET options as a backup.
• Think about location, cost and funding.
