The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has reopened applications for selected courses at the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) ahead of the September 2026 intake. KMTC announced the development on Monday, August 31, saying the application window targets students who missed the earlier placement opportunity and are eligible for the courses with available vacancies. In a statement, KMTC said KUCCPS had reopened applications for selected programmes after vacancies became available for the September intake.
“KUCCPS has reopened applications for selected KMTC courses with available vacancies for the September 2026 intake,” KMTC said.
The college urged eligible applicants to take advantage of the short application window to seek placement into the available programmes.
The reopening provides another opportunity for students who did not apply during the previous KUCCPS application period to seek admission to selected KMTC courses. KMTC described the exercise as an opportunity for eligible applicants to pursue training in healthcare-related fields. However, the reopening does not mean that all KMTC courses are available. Applications are limited to selected programmes with vacant places, meaning prospective students must check the specific courses listed by KUCCPS before submitting their applications. Applicants are also required to meet the academic and other admission requirements applicable to the programmes they wish to pursue.
The placement process is being handled through KUCCPS, which is responsible for coordinating student placement to universities and colleges under the national placement system. The vacancies are specifically for the September 2026 KMTC intake. Students interested in applying should therefore pay attention to the application deadline and ensure that their applications are submitted within the period provided by KUCCPS. The short application window is particularly relevant to students who had not secured a place during the earlier placement exercise but meet the requirements for one of the programmes with available vacancies.
KMTC has not indicated that the reopening applies to every programme offered by the college. Applicants should consequently confirm the available courses and their eligibility through official KUCCPS and KMTC communication before making an application. The development comes as institutions continue processing admissions for the 2026 academic year. KMTC is one of Kenya’s major institutions for training healthcare professionals, offering programmes in various medical and health-related disciplines.
For applicants, the immediate step is to check the list of available KMTC programmes on the official KUCCPS application platform, review the entry requirements and submit an application before the reopened window closes. Students should also rely on official KUCCPS and KMTC channels for information on application deadlines, available courses, placement requirements and subsequent admission procedures. The reopening does not guarantee admission, as placement will depend on the available vacancies and the eligibility of applicants under KUCCPS requirements.
