To complete the placement process KUCCPS has a dedicated portal for students. The portal can be accessed by using the address; https://students.kuccps.net/

This portal enables a student to select preferred programmes, revise choices, see institution plus course you have successfully been placed to pursue, download your admission letter and request for inter-institution transfer.
