Use of Passwords

All SCDEs and heads of institutions are responsible for the use and security of Passwords issued by KNEC for access to the KNEC po1ials and requested to note the following:

• Passwords are confidential and are intended for use by the designated user. Heads of institutions are therefore responsible for the security, custody and access of the passwords for their institutions;
• It is of paramount importance for heads of institutions to safeguard their passwords so as to restrict access of the school’s registration and examination related data by unauthorized persons;
• In case of loss or forgotten password, the heads of institution should send an email to KNEC ([email protected]) requesting for assistance by KNEC;
• All new examination centres (once approved and uploaded on the website) shall access the registration platfonn by keying in their Centre Code as the Username and password. Thereafter, heads of institutions are advised to change the password from the Centre Number to a password of their choice to maintain confidentiality.

Adherence to Registration deadlines

The KNEC Registration portal shall be closed on 30^th March, 2023. Please note that there shall be no late registration of candidates for the 2023 examinations once the portal is closed.

All the relevant process owners and stakeholders including parents and candidates must therefore be informed on the need to adhere to the set deadlines for registration of the 2023 examinations.

Submission of Registration Materials

Heads of institutions will be expected to present all registration documents for the centres in their respective SCDEs’ offices on 3rd April, 2023 for verification by the SCDEs and KNEC officers before submission.

By a copy of this communication, you are hereby requested to ensure that the regulation and guidelines on registration of the 2023 KCPE and KCSE examination candidates are adhered to, for effective administration of the examinations.
