Most Kenyan students struggle to get university placements under KUCCPS because of demanding high cluster points for top courses and institutions. A number of universities, however, have useful degree courses with low entry points and serve as alternatives for students who fail to qualify for the top institutions.
Some of the degree courses included in the list with their lowest cluster points and examples of universities providing them are:
BSc Actuarial Science: (Risk management/assessment) – Available at 18.831 marks by Kisii University, KCA University, Tharaka University, and Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University.
Bachelor of Arts: (Humanities/Social Sciences) – B.Ed (Arts) available at 22.449 marks at Multimedia University and South Eastern Kenya University. BA Anthropology also provides low marks (approximately 22.449 – 23.729) at universities such as Nairobi, Pwani, and Chuka.
BSc Informatics: (Insufficient focus in the initial text, under Industrial Chemistry category) – Provided at 15.683 points by Tom Mboya University, Kisii University, University of Embu, and Pwani University.
