5,000 Training Slots Available: KMTC and KUCCPS Open March 2025 Intake Applications

The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC), in collaboration with the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS), has announced the availability of 5,000 training slots for the March 2025 intake. This follows last month’s advertisement for vacancies in various medical colleges across the country.

The application portal, which initially opened on January 24 and closed on February 14, 2025, has now been reopened to fill 21 KMTC courses that still have available slots. The portal will remain accessible until March 4, 2025.

“All applicants who were not successful in the last application and others who would like to join KMTC in March 2025 are invited to apply,” KUCCPS stated in a notice. Applicants can access the portal via [https://students.kuccps.net](https://students.kuccps.net).

KUCCPS CEO Agnes Wahome explained that the new phased application process aims to streamline admissions for institutions with varying intake periods. “The placement service has for the first time adopted a phased application process starting with KMTC and TVET colleges to allow students enrolling for the March intake to apply on time,” she said.

This approach accommodates the different admission timelines for universities and Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs), which typically admit students in the last quarter of the year, while KMTC and TVETs admit in January, February, and May.

KUCCPS also announced that previous Form Four leavers who sat for the KCSE between 2000 and 2024 are eligible to apply for placement in KMTC and TVETs. Students were advised to apply to institutions within their localities to reduce costs.

“Students applying for degrees and TTCs should exercise patience, as dates for their applications will follow thereafter and will be announced,” KUCCPS added.

For students retaking their exams in July, KUCCPS assured them of an opportunity to apply for the September intake with their improved grades.
