    • P- denotes that the candidate’s examination results have been pended due to infringement on the entry requirements for the examination e.g. incorrect KCPE details for entry in KCSE examination;
    • W- denotes that the candidate’s examination results have been withheld on suspicion that the candidate has been involved in an examination malpractice and investigations are ongoing;
    • U- denotes ungraded examination results due to infringement of the awards criteria.

    Mean Grade Award Descriptions

    • Mean grade will be X, if a candidate is absent in all subjects
    • Mean grade will be Y, if one or more subjects are cancelled.
    • Mean grade will be U, if the entry requirements for the KCSE examination are not met
    • Mean grade will be CRNM, if the course requirements for the Teacher education, Business and Technical examinations are not met
    • Mean grade will be P, if results are pended
    • Mean grade will be W, if the examination results are withheld;

    The details of pended, withheld and irregularities are communicated to the institution through the Sub County Director of Education at the time of release of the examination results and are received by the institutions at the same time with the examination results.

    Release Of Certificates

    Once certificates for a specific examination are ready for collection/dispatch from KNEC, the institutions shall be informed through the mass and print media, Sub County Directors of Education and/or the heads of institutions.

    All certificates for regular candidates are issued through the Heads of Schools/Institutions and to private candidates through the Sub County Directors of Education.
