The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service has once again opened its system for students seeking admission to the Kenya Medical Training College for the March 2026 intake, creating a fresh pathway for candidates who were left out in earlier placements.
The latest window targets KCSE holders who have not secured admission to KMTC, including those who applied for the January 2026 intake but were unsuccessful.
KUCCPS said the application period will run until March 13, 2026, urging interested candidates to log into the student portal to review available diploma and certificate programmes, check minimum entry requirements and select their preferred campuses before submitting their choices.
The placement agency encouraged applicants to ensure they meet the set qualifications before completing the process online.
Those who require support during the application process have been advised to contact KUCCPS through 020 5137400 or 0713924444, or seek assistance via email at [email protected].
Kenya Medical Training College, which operates 92 campuses across the country, remains a key institution in the training of middle-level health professionals.
The college has gained global recognition, ranking ahead of several universities in the Webometrics global rankings, reflecting its growing standing in health education.
Beyond training, the institution is strengthening its focus on research and consultancy as part of its broader mandate.
The college aims to develop fit-for-purpose health professionals through transformative training, research and consultancy services that respond to the needs of the health sector.
Speaking at the end of a three-day consultancy training workshop that brought together participants from all KMTC campuses, chief executive officer Kelly Oluoch said the institution must now move with speed to grow its internal research and consultancy capacity.
He noted that while KMTC has built a strong name in training, there is room to improve its delivery in research and consultancy.
“It is time for KMTC to develop its own capacity in research and consultancy. While we acknowledge that we are at the infancy stage, we have started this bold journey,” the CEO said, commending principals, managers and staff for their commitment to advancing the college’s mandate.
He urged staff to embrace emerging areas such as digital transformation in medical education, lifelong learning systems and health innovation incubation, saying these fields could help position the college as a continental centre for health innovation and consultancy.
