Students, teachers, and guardians across Kenya eagerly anticipate the release of the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results each year. These results are not only a culmination of four years of secondary education but also pivotal for future academic and career prospects.
For the 2023 KCSE examination candidates, the process of accessing your results has been streamlined to ensure that you can receive your scores in a timely and convenient manner.
The Education Cabinet Secretary is tasked with the official release of the KCSE results. Once announced, you can retrieve your results via the Kenya National Examination Council’s (KNEC) digital platforms.
You will need the following to access your results:
- Student’s index number
- Registered names
You might also need a Knec portal username and password for some other platforms, offered by Knec.
Instead of the previous SMS code service, the 2023 KCSE results will be available for checking online only, or with the respective schools. This modern approach allows for immediate access to your performance breakdown.
Whether you’re at home, in an internet café, or at your former school, you can readily find out how you fared in your examinations with just a few clicks.
