The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) has officially opened applications for the March 2026 intake, offering a major opportunity for students aspiring to join the medical and healthcare profession. According to an announcement by the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS), eligible applicants can now apply for placement through the KUCCPS online system.
The application window runs from January 7 to January 27, 2026, and all interested candidates are encouraged to submit their applications before the deadline to avoid last-minute challenges. Applications are being processed exclusively online through the official KUCCPS student portal at students.kuccps.ac.ke.
KMTC, which operates under the Ministry of Health, is one of Kenya’s leading medical training institutions, offering a wide range of certificate, diploma, and higher diploma programmes in health sciences. These include nursing, clinical medicine, medical laboratory sciences, pharmacy, public health, community health, and many other in-demand healthcare courses. Placement is coordinated by KUCCPS to ensure transparency, fairness, and merit-based selection.
To apply, candidates should log in to the KUCCPS system using their KCSE index number and year, review the list of available KMTC programmes, and select their preferred courses and campuses. Applicants are advised to carefully check minimum entry requirements for each programme before making their choices.
This intake is particularly important as Kenya continues to strengthen its healthcare workforce to meet growing demand across the country. Securing a slot at KMTC provides students with nationally recognized training and strong career prospects both locally and internationally.
