Nairobi — High traffic on the Kenya Medical Training College admissions portal has temporarily disrupted access to admission letters for successful applicants.
In a notice issued Tuesday, the Kenya Medical Training College said admission letters for both pre-service and in-service applicants were officially released on March 9, 2026, but some candidates may be experiencing difficulties downloading them due to increased activity on the portal.
The institution urged applicants to remain patient and attempt to access the system later once traffic eases.
"However, due to high portal traffic, some applicants may currently experience difficulties accessing or downloading their letters. We kindly request that selected applicants remain patient and try accessing the portal later, once traffic has reduced," the college said in the notice.
