During the registration period, private candidates are expected to report to the Subcounty Director of Education to register for KCPE and KCSE examinations after paying the requisite fees.
For Foreign Examinations, they are expected to report to KNEC premises in the South C Foreign Examinations section for registration
KCSE registration is not linked to age provided the candidate meets registration entry requirements. Regulations are available at https://www.knec.ac.ke
They should apply to KNEC for the equation of the foreign certificate and thereafter sit for a qualifying test one year before registration for KCSE
Submit an online application which can be accessed in the KNEC Portal www.knec.ac.ke.
For school and teacher examinations applicants, they should attach a letter from the Sub County Director of Education, a valid registration certificate from the Ministry of Education and a registration fee deposit slip;
For Business and Technical examinations, they are expected to attach a letter and a copy of the registration certificate from TVETA indicating the courses they are approved to offer.
Thereafter KNEC shall undertake inspection.
A repeating candidate shall only sit for the subject (s) taken in the first attempt
One can repeat one subject or less than seven subjects within three years after their previous KCSE examination. However, this will not alter the mean grade awarded during the first sitting
The head of institution writes to KNEC through the Sub County Director of Education, and pays the current penalty of Kes. 3,000/- as per the KNEC regulation
One is not supposed to apply; you can only be identified by the TSC Sub County Director and apply using this link:https://cp2.knec.ac.ke/Account/Register
Kindly keep on checking the website https://www.knec.ac.ke for further guidance
The results are released after one and a half month after writing the examination
All post-school (B&T) candidates register through institutions
