How To Check Cut- off points on KUCCPS Portal.
How To Check Cut- off points on KUCCPS Portal:When the KUCCPS portal was opened for 2024 university placements on January 8, 2024, many students who were applying for degree, diploma and certificate courses raised several issues regarding the process.
KUCCPS outlined that the application is targeting two select groups; form four leavers from 2000 to 2022 and the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) students.
Difference Between Cluster points and Cut- off points
According to KUCCPS, cluster points are a student’s computed performance in four subjects required for admission to a given degree programme against that of the best candidates in a particular KCSE exam year.
The points are based on cluster subject requirements and overall candidates’ performance. To minimize the chances of applicants tying on points, the Placement Body computes the figure to three decimal places.
Whereas, cut-off points are the weighted cluster points of the last competitively placed student in a given degree program.
The KUCCPS student portal automatically calculates cluster points when a student applies for a course. The portal also displays placement results on the dashboard.
To check for the cut-off points, log in to the student portal at students.kuccps.net
