According to the placement body, the current window offers more than 21,000 slots spread across 98 KMTC campuses nationwide, reflecting continued demand for health training as the country seeks to strengthen its healthcare workforce.
The March 2026 KMTC intake is expected to attract thousands of applicants amid sustained interest in health-related careers.
The slots cover a range of diploma and certificate courses offered by KMTC, which remains one of the largest trainers of middle-level health professionals in the region.
KUCCPS urged eligible candidates to review programme requirements carefully before applying and to submit their applications within the stipulated timeframe to avoid last-minute challenges.
