A total of 993,000 candidates sat the examinations this year.

The 2025 KCSE results are being released nationwide Friday, marking the culmination of examinations that ran from October 21 to November 14, 2025.

The Ministry of Education and the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) have put in place measures to ensure smooth access to results for candidates, parents, and schools across the country.

Students are advised to access their results through the KNEC portal, SMS services, or their respective schools, while preparations for KUCCPS placement into tertiary institutions are expected to commence immediately.
