Are you sure? So your kid scores an A and is admitted for a top course at UoN, but you move him/her to Daystar?


Yes. Very common. Admitted for Engineering at UoN, but opts for BCom at Strath.


Now you can see why Kenya will never industrialize if the top engineering brains are opting for careers in balancing books. Sad!

I know a good number of engineering graduates who are busy auditing company books.


I know several Elec/Civil/Computer Engineering graduates of JKUAT who work at PWC. One actually was sent to audit a health institution that I knew about and we had a laugh when he couldn't even walk on the corridors for fear of contracting TB. Another works for CitiBank.

Precisely, the market for engineering graduates is just not there any more,so many are doing mundane stuff that you wonder why GOK (for JAB admissions) had to waste resources training them for the 5yrs,maybe the elder peers should lobby akin tothe medical fraternity and compel the govt to absorb the graduates

Yes. Very common. Admitted for Engineering at UoN, but opts for BCom at Strath.



What is the reasoning behind this? How is Strath superior to UoN?

There are parents who opt for both, have the kid attend UoN and a parallel at Strath


Undergraduate in Eng at UoN and BCom at Strath at the same time? No way. He will fail one of the courses or both of them.

Eng at The and CPA/ACCA/CISA etc at Strath


@Ann, that I understand. But @Siringi never said that.

I think nowadays we have so many students scoring A's, A- and B+ unlike siku zetu when they were few which would probably explain the C+ cut off. UoN, KU, JKUAT and other public universities CANNOT accommodate all these bright kids that is why some opt for private universities where its not so crowded. Surely i can't let my kid take a useless course at 'The' yet Strathmore can offer something better, i'd rather pay more.
