How To Check Your KNEC KCPE and KCSE Results Online

You have done the hard work. You have studied for your exam, and now it is time to see the reward for your efforts. Checking your KNEC KCPE or KCSE results is just as easy as registering for the exam, i.e., you can do it online. There is also a way to access your results via SMS.

In line with its resolve to improve the country’s quality of education, Kenya’s National Examinations Council which oversees exams like KCPE and KCSE has set out procedures for students to easily check and access their results. With only a few requirements, here is how to check your KNEC KCPE and KCSE results online and offline.

Step-By-Step Guide to Checking Your KCSE and KCPE Results Online

Checking your KNEC KCSE or KCPE results online is easy-peasy. There is no need to pay for anything other than data to access the internet. Once you have that, all you need is a functioning phone or laptop to access your result in five minutes (depending on your network efficiency).

Once you have access to the internet, take the following steps:

  • Open your browser and go to the KNEC portal
  • Once there, you will see the homepage divided into the KCSE and KCPE section.
  • For the result you want, click the online result box
  • You will be taken to the login page
  • Here, input your username and password, which you used during exam registration
  • Click login
  • If your username and password are correct, you will be taken to your result page.

Yes, it is that easy. Unfortunately, given how easy it is to forget or lose login details, you might run into trouble while trying to check your KNEC results. Thankfully, there are ways to retrieve your access as well as other means to check your result. For the latter, you can try SMS.

Checking your KNEC Results Via SMS

Suppose you do not have access to the internet, or no longer remember your username and password, or prefer a more straightforward method. In that case, you can also receive your KNEC KCPE and KCSE results via SMS.

To do this, all you need is a phone and your Index Number received during registration for the exam. Once you have both, all you need to do is –

  • Send an SMS with your Index Number to 20076 for Safaricom, Telkom, Airtel, and Orange networks

A lot of people use this method, so the system might be overwhelmed with requests. However, you should typically receive an SMS with your result after a few minutes. While it is more straightforward, you should know this method is not free. SMS charges for your network still apply.

How to Download Your KNEC Result

Other than the cost, one significant advantage of requesting your result via SMS is that it stays permanently on your phone. If you are checking your KNEC KCSE or KCPE result online, you can also have this permanence by downloading your result slip.

To do this, all you have to do is go over the step you used in checking your results online. To recap, you will need an internet-enabled phone, preferably a smartphone or a laptop. Once you have it, follow these steps:

  • Open your browser and go to the KNEC portal
  • Once there, you will see the homepage divided into the KCSE and KCPE section.
  • For the result you want, click the online result box
  • You will be taken to the login page
  • Here, input your username and password, which you used during exam registration
  • Click login
  • If your username and password are correct, you will be taken to your result page.
  • Once there, you will see an option to download your KNEC KCSE or KCPE result slip.

Voila! You now have your result slip with you to access permanently without additional internet access.

Other Ways to Access KNEC Results

It is worth noting that these methods are for those who have the means and, more importantly, registered for the exams themselves. In some cases, teachers and schools registered on behalf of students. As a result, an individual student might not have the index number and login details needed to access the portal.

If you belong to this category, the straightforward solution is to wait for your teacher or school to download the result. If you are a teacher or educator, you can download the result for your class by following a similar step. You start by –

  • Opening your browser and go to the KNEC portal
  • Use your login details to enter the portal
  • Once inside, look for the box labeled ‘From Index’
  • Input the index number of the first candidate
  • Look for the box labeled ‘To Index Number’
  • Input the last candidate’s index number
  • Click on View Report
  • After all the slips for each candidate have loaded, click ‘Export’
  • Then select the format you would like to export, e.g., WORD or PDF format
  • The results will be downloaded to your computer or internet device

This process will give you the result slip of every student registered under your care. You can print the downloaded document and display or distribute it to the individual students as appropriate.

How to Fix Any Issues While Checking Online KNEC Results

So far, the KNEC portal has been a reliable system since it came online. However, nothing is perfect, and you might run into specific issues during the process. They can include forgetting your password or username, zero network response, incomplete result, incorrect details, etc.

Mase’s Net Worth, Biography, Career, Awards, Fact and Life Story

Mase Net Worth: Mase is an American rapper, songwriter, TV personality, inspirational speaker and minister who has a net worth of $8 million. In the late 1990s, he got his start in the world of rap music thanks to Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs and his music imprint, Bad Boy Records. He has had multiple Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 singles, and has been nominated for a Grammy Award for his album “Harlem World” (1997).Early Life: Mason Durell Betha, better known by the mononym Mase, was born on August 27, 1975, in Jacksonville, Florida. His parents are P.K. Betha and Mason Betha. Mase has a fraternal twin sister, Stason Betha, as well as four other siblings. After his father left the family when he was three years old, his mother moved them to Harlem, New York, where he grew up and spent most of his childhood. However, he was sent by his mother back to Jacksonville when he was thirteen years old, after he started acting out and getting in trouble. He lived with relatives in Florida for two years before returning to Harlem when he was fifteen. In high school, he played basketball and dreamed of joining the National Basketball Association. Later, he attended State University of New York at Purchase, where he left his basketball dreams behind and focused on music instead. As he started to produce his own demo tapes and perform regularly at local nightclubs, Mase eventually dropped out of college so he could focus on music full-time.Music Career: Mase’s music career started in high school, when he was part of the rap group known as Children of the Corn, along with fellow Harlem rappers like Big L, Herb McGruff, Bloodshed, and his childhood friend Cam’ron. His stage name back then was “Murda Mase”. Then, in 1996, when he was twenty years old, his sister Stason introduced him to Cudda Love. Love was a road manager for The Notorious B.I.G., and took Mase to a rap convention in Atlanta, Georgia, where he met and rapped for Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs. Combs was impressed by Mase’s talent, and signed him with his music imprint Bad Boy Records under a $250,000 deal. Combs shortened Mase’s name from “Murda Mase” to just “Mase”. Subsequently, Mase began appearing in various projects, including the video for 112’s song “Only You” along with The Notorious B.I.G., Puff Daddy’s songs “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down” and “Been Around the World”, and The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems”.Mase’s debut studio album, “Harlem World”, was released in October 1997. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Pop and R&B LP Charts, and sold over 270,000 copies in its first week of release in the U.S. It was also nominated for a Grammy Award. Since then, the album has gone on to be certified Platinum four times by the RIAA. Additionally, “Harlem World” spawned several hit singles, including “Feel So Good” and “Lookin’ at Me”, which both peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Rap chart. Furthermore, during 1997 Mase also appeared as a featured guest artist on many other songs, including Mariah Carey’s “Honey”, Brian McKnight’s “You Should Be Mine (Don’t Waste Your Time)”, and Brandy’s “Top of the World”.In 1998, Mase formed All Out Records, his own record label. One of the early acts signed to the label was the group Harlem World, which his twin sister Stason was a member of. Then, in 1999, he released his second album, “Double Up”, also with Bad Boy Records. The album featured more aggressive lyrics than his previous material, and sold 107,000 copies in its first week.Mase left music for five years, beginning in April 1999. He had announced on April 20, during a radio interview, that he was retirement from music to pursue a “calling from God.” During his hiatus, he actually enrolled as a student at the historically black college Clark Atlanta University, and also became an ordained minister. He returned to the music industry in 2004 with his third album, “Welcome Back”. “Welcome Back” was also released through Bad Boy Records, just like his first two albums, and was distributed by Universal Music Group. The material on the album was a big departure from his previous work, and showcased his new Christian lifestyle along with a cleaner image. In a move that appeared contradictory to his new image, during the mid-2000s, Mase actually spent time performing and recording with New York hip-hop group G-Unit, which featured members 50 Cent, Tony Yayo, and Lloyd Banks. He also was featured on many magazine covers, in music videos, and on stage with 50 Cent in particular. The more hardcore image of G-Unit was very different from Mase’s new “clean” approach to music since his return from hiatus, but according to him, he had decide to join forces with G-Unit so he could appeal to a different audience, and show them that they could change their lives just like he did.Mase left music again in 2007, but staged his second comeback in 2009, supposedly inspired by the death of Michael Jackson. He appeared as a featured artist on many tracks, including “Uptown Boy” by Harry O, the street remix of “Best I Ever Had” by Drake, “Get It” by Big Ran, and the street remix of “Diamonds” by Teairra Mari and Kanye West, among others. He announced his departure from Bad Boy Records in December 2012.Other Pursuits: In 2010, Mase released his book “Revelations: There’s a Light After the Lime”. In 2000, he founded S.A.N.E. (Saving A Nation Endangered) Church in Atlanta, Georgia. It has since been renamed as El Elyon International Church, and he serves there as a pastor.Personal Life: Mase has been married to Twyla G Styles since 2001. They share one child together.Feud With Diddy: In January 2020, Mase posted a message on Instagram that was extremely critical of his former mentor, Diddy. The critical message came on the heels of a speech Diddy gave at a Grammy pre-party in which the tycoon called out the music industry for its history of taking advantage of young artists of color and general lack of diversity. Mase took issue with Diddy’ speech, claiming in his own Instagram post that Diddy greatly took advantage of him back in the 1990s. Mase claimed that Diddy paid him just $20,000 for his publishing rights, an extremely lucrative source of income for artists. Mase further claimed to have recently offered Diddy $2 million to buy back his publishing, but was told he had to compete with another offer. Mase’s scathing post further stated:”This is not black excellence at all. When our race is enslaving us. If it’s about us owning, it can’t be about us owning each other.””No more hiding behind ‘love’. U CHANGED? GIVE THE ARTIST BACK THEIR $$$. So they can take care of their families.”
