Complete List of Kenyatta University KUCCPS Courses & Cut-Off Points (2026 Applications)
KUCCPS provides prior years’ cut-offs (primarily 2024 and 2023 placements) as guides for the current cycle. The official 2025/2026 DEGREE PROGRAMMES document and portal show 2025 cut-offs are not fully individualized per university in summaries but follow national ranges (e.g., Medicine 42.0–44.9 across top unis like KU).
