How to apply

Student portal and registration
KU’s student portal supports academic administration and student services. Confirm your account details through official university instructions. Hostel spaces are allocated subject to availability; an old claim that accommodation is guaranteed to all KUCCPS freshmen is not reliable.
Fees, accommodation and contacts
Course fees, deadlines, hostel booking periods and available rooms vary by intake and campus. Use the university’s official fee schedule and accommodation instructions; do not rely on old charges or unofficial payment requests.
Reviewed October 2026. Please verify programme availability and the current admission notice with the institution before applying.
