The first revision of degree choices by individual candidates will run from January 30 to February 17.
This is according to the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS). This year all students who scored a grade of C+ and above might be absorbed in public and private universities.
“All 2016 KCSE candidates who scored a minimum overall grade of C+ and above will be placed to pursue degree courses of their choice in public and private universities as government-sponsored students,” said Chief Executive Officer John Muraguri.
The minimum requirement for placement into diploma courses is C- (minus) and the application is open to Form Four candidates of 2016 and previous years.
At the same time, the Commission for University Education ruled out lowering the university entry grade to C-plain to accommodate more students.
