The Institution offers a wide variety of courses but its strongest emphasis involves 3 fields: Engineering courses, Agricultural courses and Information and Technology courses. I will proudly say that when it comes to the 3 fields it’s arguably the best in the country. A lot of alumni who have gone on to make a mark in various institutions across the country proudly associate themselves with JKUAT.
It has an even better experience when it comes to nurturing and promoting extra co-curricular activities such that if you are a sportsperson you are well covered with various games u can get involved in. I should perhaps say it has the best hockey and rugby teams across the country whereby the said teams decimate mercilessly our competitors.
It should be noted that this is a higher learning institution that welcomes students from all backgrounds even international students find it a good haven to study as there already exists a partnership with AICAD (African Institute for Capacity Development). I would highly recommend any student who aspires to excel in the 3 mentioned earlier fields to join and that’s not saying the other courses offered are less regarded but emphasise the jewels on our crown.
I do know for sure that in every program the level of professionalism by the lecturers is top-notch to enable excellence for any individual.
Probably one thing I would recommend for improvement is on-campus support for new and mostly foreign students as it is a large institution by land area and new students easily lose their way while going from one place to another.
