| Egerton University, which hopes to implement a double intake in future. |
Many 2010 KCSE candidates have been asking whether a double intake is going to be implemented this year. The suggestion of the double intake has been fronted for several years now. Currently, KCSE candidates stay at home for close to two years before they enroll for their degree choices. This of course applies if one is going to enroll in the regular/government sponsored program. If you enroll for parallel degree courses, you can join the University as soon as the KCSE results have been released. Many students are indeed joining campuses right after the release of the KCSE results. Some institutions will even offer one a conditional acceptance provided they did well in the Form four mock exams.
By the time the regular students are joining campus, their former classmates who are pursuing parallel courses are now one or two years into their studies. Furthermore, some Universities such as JKUAT allow for parallel students to enroll for a program without taking any holiday off. For instance, students pursuing the IT and BCOM courses just take a week off between their semesters. Such students will be through with their studies in just two years. This is the time that the regular students will have taken before joining the University. Now factor in the issue of strikes and you see that the regular students are at a real disadvantage. In most of the public Universities, the parallel students continue with their studies even as the rest of the students go home. Hopefully, the double in take will be implemented even though the underlying concerns of each of the stakeholders must be taken into perspective.
