Student review [#90056] for Business Information Technology
at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology - JKUAT

What stood out was the emphasis on practical learning, especially in engineering, ICT, and agriculture. Labs are decently equipped, though sometimes crowded, and many courses encourage innovation. JKUAT has produced several notable tech startups and research projects. Experienced and Qualified Faculty, in fields like IT and biotech, you get access to lecturers who’ve worked in industry or contributed to policy/research entrepreneurship and Innovation Culture, and a diverse student community.
Nonetheless, JKUAT has administrative inefficiencies, and poor communication between departments leads to confusion, especially for new students. Some programs (especially in engineering and IT) are over-enrolled, leading to limited attention from lecturers, overcrowded lecture halls and labs, delays in accessing practical sessions or equipment, and limited career guidance.
JKUAT is a solid university if you’re serious about STEM, agriculture, or innovation. While there are administrative and infrastructural weaknesses, the academic quality, especially in technical fields, is impressive. You’ll learn a lot if you’re proactive, want a strong foundation in tech, engineering, or agriculture, are self-motivated and resourceful value practical experience and innovation.
