Quick answer<\/span>

Can you join college without KUCCPS in Kenya?<\/h2><\/div>\n

Yes.<\/strong> You can join a college in Kenya without a KUCCPS placement when the institution accepts direct applications.<\/p>

KUCCPS states that public universities, public university constituent colleges and eligible TVET institutions can receive students through its placement system. It also states that it currently does not place students into private colleges. [1]<\/a><\/p>

At Newton Institute of Technology, applications are made directly through the NIT admissions process. [4]<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
