In the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams, a total of 246,391 candidates achieved grades of C plus or higher, which is the minimum requirement for university entry.
Among these candidates, 1,693 were awarded a straight A, marking an increase from the previous year when 1,216 candidates achieved a mean grade of A plain. This reflects a growth of 0.18 percent in the number of A plain grades compared to 2023.
Of the 1,693 candidates who scored A plain grades, 1,375 were from national schools, accounting for 81.22 percent of the total. Extra County Schools contributed 163 A grades, representing 9.63 percent. Moreover, County schools had four A plain grades, while private schools produced 142 A grades.
According to data from the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC), there were 7,743 A minus grades awarded this year, with 2,840 received by girls and 4,903 by boys. This signifies a 0.8 percent increase compared to the 2023 KCSE, where 7,254 candidates earned an A minus grade.
In total, 476,889 candidates achieved a grade of C minus or higher, qualifying for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and diploma programs. However, the examination process faced some challenges, with 840 candidates’ results canceled due to malpractice and an additional 2,899 candidates’ results withheld pending further investigation.
