KNEC Portal- Exams, Assessments, and Registration

This article is a guide on how to navigate through the KNEC Portal. The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) is a body dedicated to offering excellent services in the Kenyan examination process.

KNEC has different portals. Each portal caters to various examinations and mostly deals with registration.

All examination centers are expected to log onto a platform for specific examination and enter the candidates’ details using the school or center registration password.

The specific registration period for each examination is communicated separately through a circular. The dates must be adhered to since there will be no late registration of candidates.

Services Offered Via KNEC Portal

The portal is used to check KCPE/KCSE results and to download an online KCPE/KCSE result slips. Other services offered include:

• Registration for KCPE and KCSE candidates
• Confirmation of KCPE and KCSE registration
• KCPE and KCSE Results viewing
• Confirmation of KCPE and KCSE Results

How to Register Online for KNEC; KCPE & KCSE Exams

1. The registration process for KCPE and KCSE runs from January 1 to March 31. Registration is preceded by a pre-registration that runs from November 1 to December 31 with a deadline of March 31.
2. KCPE and KCSE candidates need to visit www.knec.ac.ke and upload all their details and photographs.
3. Private candidates, however, are required to download these forms from the KNEC portal and fill them before presenting them to their respective district education officers
4. Note that the name amendment can and will only be done once the results are out. However, the headteachers have to write explaining to the council the origin of the mistake and pay Sh.3,000 fine per candidate.
