What are cut off points
The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has given an explanation on what cut off points are and how they influence selection of students to higher institutions of learning (Universities, Colleges and Tvets). If you are applying for Kuccps courses or making revisions, then this is your chance to know about the Cut off points for various courses.
Cut-off points are the marks (cluster weight) of the last student to join a course in a university after all applicants for the course have been ranked based on their cluster weights.
Cut-off points are only available after applicants have been placed and they have joined university/college.
