KUCCPS-placed students and admission letters
Students placed at DeKUT through KUCCPS should use the government-sponsored student route in the admissions portal. Once placement is confirmed, follow the portal’s login instructions, update the required personal information and download the admission letter and joining documents. Do not use the self-sponsored route simply because you are unable to locate your placement.
