Cluster Point Calculator
To use the calculator kindly add the required figures in fields labeled X and Y and click calculate. After clicking calculate, the page will reload and your cluster points will appear in the box labeled “Your Weighted Cluster Point.”
UPDATE: Calculator has been disabled since 2022 kuccps revision of courses has come to an end. It will be enabled after KCSE 2022 results have been released in 2023.
NOTE 1: This calculator has a weighted cluster point margin error of between -0.2 and +0.2 which is very minimal.
NOTE 2: Kuccps portal now automatically calculates your cluster points when you apply for a course. Once you login to kuccps portal you will be able to see whether you qualify for course or not.
What are the Required Four Subjects?
Apart from the overall grade you scored lets say C+ there are four subjects that are required before you do a specific course. These are the four required subjects.
At KUCCPS website they are normally labeled as;
- Cluster Subject 1
- Cluster Subject 2
- Cluster Subject 3
- Cluster Subject 4
You are supposed to add the four subjects points (for the specific course) and type them in the calculator field labeled (X).
NOTE 1: Each course has its own required subjects. For Law courses required four subjects are different from Engineering.
NOTE 2: Minimum entry grade for Degree courses is C+
What are Subjects Points?
Subject points are
- A=12 (points)
- A -=11 (points)
- B+ =10 (points)
- B =9 (points)
- B- =8 (points)
- C+ =7 (points)
- C =6 (points)
- C- =5 (points)
- D+ =4 (points)
- D =3 (points)
- D- =2 (points)
- E =1 (points)
What are the aggregate KCSE points?
These are the points you got for the seven subjects you did. For instance, if you got an A (plain) in all subjects then aggregated points will be 84.
- 12+12+ 12+12 +12+12 +12 = 84
