KUCCPS held a collaborative meeting in January this year to analyze and decide on 2024-2025 student placement in public universities.
The formula for calculating KUCCPS cluster points is now more simplified than before making it adaptable for most parts.
Government sponsored students can now determine their cluster points and qualification for various programs offered in different parts of the country with ease.
The board carefully considered the number of available slots in Kenyan universities about the results recorded for KCSE in the past year.
In essence, all the students who scored a minimum of 46 points equivalent to C+ are now eligible to enroll for university studies in public universities under government sponsorship.
KUCCPS online portal now contains an array of resources for students to calculate cluster points for jab admission.
These materials are particularly helpful in helping potential candidates to make informed career choices and further their career aspirations.
Further, the calculation is essential for students who scored a minimum of 32 points in 2018 KCSE national examination.
As self-sponsored students, this category is equally eligible for places in private and public universities.
Similarly, those students who attained 18 points and above will join tertiary institutions for craft certificate courses.
How to Calculate Cluster Points KUCCPS
w=√(r/m*api/spi)*48
The above formula is handy when calculating weight cluster points, below are some of the main critical denotations represented
Symbol Meaning
w Weighted Cluster Point
c Raw Cluster Point
a Aggregate Cluster Point
m Maximum performance index per cluster for all students and subjects
r Raw cluster performance index per cluster for all subjects enrolled
api Aggregate performance index
spi Maximum performance index
Cluster points directly affect students eligibility for a particular course enrolled.

After directing the public on how to calculate cluster points for universities admissions, KUCCPS is now in the limelight of receiving student placement results.
Many students are reportedly experiencing difficult times in comprehending how to calculate KCSE cluster points.
The ambivalence affects the placement process with many students likely to land on unpredictable courses.
The ongoing second revision grants applicants who did not participate in the first revision.
The exercise mainly features students who qualified for the government-sponsored program by attaining at least a C+ in their aggregate mean grade in KCSE national examination.
It is now easier to calculate cluster points for intake using JAB compliant formulas.
The process has continually been simplified to help applicant focus on proper career choice as opposed to hard metrics.
You should also note that all cluster point values are edited annually by KUCCPS.
Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Services are now expected to kick off the process of selecting university applicants about their preferred courses and institutions.
Students are advised to visit their KUCCPS accounts to apply or make a necessary update for their course choices before the lapse of the process later this week on 14th.
After that, students will also have an opportunity of viewing shortlisted results.
