For example, there was a student who had a B+, all his subjects grade were above B plain, but he ended up pursing a course he did not choose. Though, it is not good to demean courses, he pursues an agricultural course with other funny funny names. But his problem was in choosing courses. I advised him but he ignored my words, only later to be humbled if not surprised by KUCCPS.
As 2020 form four leavers wait for KUCCPS to open their portal it is good for them to engage in finding which courses suits them. KUCCPS is like a market, once it will be opened it will have all the courses on offer. During that time which is called first selection one can choose any course available if one has met the previous intake cut off points. But, it is during this first selection where students mess themselves. I will let you know why.
If one does not qualify for courses selected during the first selection, he or she is given another chance to select other courses from the remaining courses. This is where people meet the worst. If you have ever gone to buy vegetables in the evening in a market, what you get is what my people from the mountain call mathuro, that is, what is left after the best is taken away. Majority of the courses in second selection are not good at all. So the first selection choices should be what one wants. In case, one does not get a course in second selection, KUCCPS allocates students remaining courses after all selections are made and you can guess what they give. I do not know whether to call it ile viazi mama mboga hawatapati mtu wa kuuzia or not.
