The Kenya National Examinations Council has released the official 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education result slips, clearing the way for candidates to collect the documents from their respective schools.
In a notice issued on Saturday, the council confirmed that the result slips are ready and have been distributed across the country. Candidates who sat the 2025 KCSE examination have been asked to visit the schools where they registered in order to obtain their slips.
“The 2025 KCSE examination result slips are ready for collection. Candidates are advised to visit their schools and collect the result slips,” KNEC said in a statement on Saturday.
The council further stated that the documents have already been sent to Sub-County Directors of Education offices nationwide. Schools that presented candidates for the national examination have been directed to work closely with their respective SCDE offices to pick up the slips.
“The 2025 KCSE Examination Result Slips have been dispatched to all Sub-County Directors of Education (SCDE) offices countrywide. Schools that presented candidates for the examination are advised to liaise with the respective SCDEs to collect the result slips,” the statement read.
The release of the slips follows the announcement of the 2025 KCSE results earlier this year, which showed improved performance and a rise in the number of learners meeting the university entry grade.
Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Migos Ogamba had announced that 993,226 candidates sat the 2025 examination, compared to 962,512 in 2024. This marked an increase of 30,714 candidates, translating to a growth of 3.19 percent.
In terms of top grades, 1,932 candidates, representing 0.19 percent, attained an overall mean grade of A plain. This was higher than the 1,693 candidates, or 0.18 percent, who achieved the same grade in 2024.
The number of candidates who secured the direct university entry grade of C+ and above also rose. In 2025, 270,715 candidates, accounting for 27.18 percent, reached the threshold, up from 246,391 candidates or 25.53 percent the previous year.
Those who scored C– and above increased to 507,131 candidates, representing 50.92 percent, compared to 476,889 candidates or 49.41 percent in 2024. Candidates who attained a pass grade of D+ and above also went up to 634,082, which is 63.67 percent, from 605,774 or 62.76 percent recorded the year before.
With the slips now available, candidates can proceed with applications for higher education and other opportunities that require official proof of their results.
