Q. How can I retrieve my Payment Reference after making a payment for KUCCPS application?

A. Your Payment Reference (Payment Ref.) is the account number you were provided with when making the payment.
You can find it in your MPESA confirmation message—just look for the account number. Be sure to pick the account, not the MPESA code.

Keep the MPESA message; you need it to make changes to your application.

Media Release: KUCCPS Opens Application Window for 2026 Placement to Universities and Colleges

Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has opened its system for the 2026 application to universities, colleges and TVET institutions. The online application opened on April 7, 2026 and will run until May 6, 2026.

The application targets the 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination class and other Form Four leavers from previous years. The 2025 class can apply for both degree and TVET programmes.

Whereas applicants for degree programmes will join universities from September, those applying for TVET programmes will be able to report to their respective colleges starting May, since TVET placement is continuous.

In 2025 KCSE examination, KUCCPS received results for 980,444 eligible candidates, out of whom 268,700 attained mean grade of C+ and above, qualifying them for placement to degree programmes in the 43 public and 31 private universities. The remaining 711,744 who scored between C plain and E are qualified for placement to public colleges and other TVET institutions.

In addition to the universities, 251 public TVET colleges including 33 university TVET institutes are available for student placement this year.

The minimum requirement for application to degree programmes remains C+ (plus). For TVET programmes, individuals with any KCSE grade from A to E who sat exams between the years 2000 to 2025 can apply. Students who sat the exams within the same period and scored C+ (plus) and above are eligible to apply for degree programmes at the Open University of Kenya.

As required by the Universities Act, 2012, placement of students into the institutions will be on merit; considering applicants’ listed priorities, KCSE performance and available capacities.

Last year, KUCCPS requested universities and colleges to submit courses and capacities for the 2026/2027 Placement Cycle. The institutions were required to ensur
