If you applied for placement via KUCCPS but didn’t get your preferred course, or if you missed the first application window, you still have a chance to revise your choices and secure placement in a programme that matches your KCSE results. This guide explains exactly how to revise KUCCPS choices online — from eligibility to submission — step by step.
What Is KUCCPS Revision of Choices?
Revision of Choices is a special window that allows students to:
- Change or update their course selections
- Choose available programmes if they didn’t secure placement earlier
- Apply for the first time if they missed the initial application window
This process happens online through the KUCCPS student portal
Who Can Revise Their KUCCPS Choices?
Eligibility for course revision typically includes:
- Students who applied but were not placed in the initial application round.
- Candidates who didn’t apply during the first round but obtained the minimum KCSE grade required for placement.
- In some cycles, past KCSE graduates who never applied through KUCCPS may also be allowed to revise or apply; this can vary by year and announcement.
When Is the KUCCPS Revision Window Open?
For example, in recent placement cycles, the revision window for the 2025/2026 academic year ran from 18th to 27th May 2025.
👉 KUCCPS usually announces revision dates publicly on its website and through SMS to candidates, but you must act within the official window — late revisions are not accepted.
What You Need Before You Start
Before starting your revision, make sure you have:
✔ Your KCSE index number
✔ The year you sat the exam
✔ Your password (often your birth certificate or KCPE index)
✔ List of preferred programme codes and institutions
✔ Reliable internet access
These details will be required to log in and make your changes.
