How to use KUCCPS portal for course application (eCitizen Paybill)

Step 1: Log in to students.kuccps.net directly or type "KUCCPS Students Portal" on your search engine (e.g. Google) and click the link "Student Login". To log in, enter the applicant's KCSE Index Number without a stroke [/]. Enter the KCSE Year. Enter a password, which is the Applicant's Birth Certificate Number (Entry Number) or KCPE Index Number. If none goes through, try the Birth Certificate Serial Number (the one at the top).

If still unsuccessful, contact KUCCPS through 0205137400 / 0723954927 or visit any of the KUCCPS support centres or any Huduma Centre for assistance.

Step 2: Once logged in, on the menu bar at the top of the page, click the tab "Programme Lists". You will see these documents:

KMTC Programmes
Degree Cluster Document
Degree Programmes
Diploma Programmes
Certificate Programmes
Artisan Programmes

Click any of the above depending on the programmes or institutions that you wish to apply for. The document will download separately as a PDF file. Check the downloaded document for available programmes, programme codes, previous cut-off points and other information. Before you move to the next step, note down the Programme Codes for all the courses that you intend to apply for.

Step 3: Back to the portal, on the menu bar, click "Application/Revision". You will see either one or two forms for submitting the programme codes at different levels (Degree only or Degree and Diploma or Diploma and Certificate or Certificate and Artisan or Artisan only).

Step 4: Type the programme codes that you noted down earlier, in the relevant form. (To minimise errors, you will not be able to copy and paste the programme codes.) As you type the codes, you will notice that the system will be "Fetching Data" and "Checking Requirements". Allow these processes to complete before you submit. Once the system has completed fetching data and checking requirements, it will display the name of each programme under the respective codes, and indicate if the student meets the minimum requirements.

Step 5: After all the programme data has been fetched and displayed, click SUBMIT. A pop-up box will display payment instructions.

On the pop-up message, click "HERE" to pay the indicated amount. The system will open a payment page as a new tab. Select your preferred payment method and follow the instructions.

For the M-Pesa Option, follow the provided steps for paying through the Government e-Citizen Paybill Number 222222. Enter the provided account number and pay the indicated amount

(Ksh1,500). After paying, you will receive a confirmation SMS from M-Pesa.

Step 6: Go back to application window and enter the account number in the slot written "Payment REF" then click SUBMIT. (Be careful not to use the M-Pesa transaction code but the provided Account Number).

Give the system a few seconds to display a notification that the application is successful.

If you make a mistake, repeat the process but do not pay again. Instead, re-enter the account number from the previous payment and submit.
