Early this month, University of Nairobi automated admission applications for self-sponsored students following the launch of an online application system that will see the entire admission process fully automated

In this regard, Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) will offer automated payment collection services to the self-sponsored students using the bank.

The process had earlier on been a very hectic and time consuming data entry process at the admissions and Board of Postgraduate Studies offices before the letters were mailed by post to successful applicants. According to Julius Ogen’go, this was a slow and very costly process.

Julius Ogen’go, the director of the Centre for Self-Sponsored Programmes at UoN, said that the delay in processing and disbursement of admission letters to successful applicants will now be a thing of the past.

KCB’s financial institution’s goal of offering tailor-made solutions to its clients will be made a reality through this partnership.

“We shall constantly remain innovative in offering tailor-made solutions and in pursuing sustainable partnerships with like-minded institutions such as University of Nairobi. We will continue rolling out services that will meet the changing customer needs,” said the bank’s Managing Director.

Mr Makome explained that the financial institution has integrated its payment collection system with the university such that real time communication will happen whenever students make payments.
“This system is the first of its kind in the country. It will assist the university in decision-making on various parameters concerning application and admission information,” he said.
