How to apply for KMTC admission

KMTC typically announces its intakes through the media- newspapers, TV, radio, and online.

You’re supposed to apply ONLINE from the students’ application portal on the KMTC website www.kmtc.ac.ke immediately they advertise.

Remember to follow the guidelines listed on the KMTC applications website to the latter.

Also, apply before the expiry of the application timelines as stated on the KMTC intake advertisement to be successful.

 

What to know when applying

You can apply for either regular or parallel study.

The regular category is advantageous since the fee is subsidized besides having accommodation (optional).

You cannot, however, choose the KMTC campus to attend under the regular programme.

On the other hand, you can select your favorite KMTC campus from the 65 KMTC campuses under the parallel category.

But the fee is not subsidized.

And, of course, this mode doesn’t provide the accommodation option.

 

Wrapping it up

Those are the minimum KMTC certificate courses qualifications for each course plus the cluster subject grades.

Note that for a diploma, you must have scored at least a mean grade of C plain in your KCSE in addition to specific grades in the cluster subjects.

Finally, upgrading courses needs you to have a relevant certificate in the respective field while Higher Diplomas require at least a Diploma qualification.

Don’t forget to keep an eye on the media to know the next KMTC intake- usually the intakes are in March and September every year.
