2023 KNEC KCSE Grading System Per Subject

Kenya’s end-of-secondary-school exams are administered by the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC). Subject grading differs depending on a variety of circumstances, with each subject having its own grading system.

Before we go into the grading system, it’s important to understand the letters that KNEC uses to represent distinct mean grades:

– If a candidate is missing from all subjects, they receive a mean grade of X.

If one or more topics are canceled, a mean grade of Y is issued.

If the entry requirements for the KCSE examination are not met, a mean grade of U is assigned.

– If the course criteria for Teacher Education, Business, and Technical examinations are not met, a mean grade of CRNM is assigned.

– A mean grade of P implies that findings are not yet available.
