The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has directed students with questions related to the 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination results to lodge complaints within 30 days.
In a notice on Friday, January 9, KNEC said queries lodged after the lapse of the 30-day window will attract a fee.
The council also pointed out that the queries of the 2024 KCSE results should be submitted exclusively through the heads of institutions.
“All results-related queries must be lodged through the heads of institutions within 30 days after the release of results. Queries lodged after 30 days will attract a fee,” KNEC stated.
The notice comes after Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba released the 2025 KCSE results.
Speaking at AIC Chebisaas High School in Uasin Gishu County, Ogamba revealed that 270,715 students attained the University entry grade of C+ and above in the 2025 KCSE examination.
