KNEC headquaters
In a notice issued on Thursday, July 10, the council directed all heads of institutions that presented candidates to collect the results in person at New Mitihani House, Nairobi.
However, KNEC warned that institutions with outstanding examination fee arrears would not be allowed to collect the results until all dues are cleared.
“Institutions with examination fee arrears are expected to clear them before collecting the results,” the notice read in part.
KNEC also advised that any result-related queries must be submitted online through the Query Management Information System (QMIS) portal and only by the heads of institutions.
These queries must be raised within 30 days of the official release date.
“Queries received after August 22, 2025 will attract a fee of Sh5,000,” the council stated.
This directive is in line with the council’s ongoing efforts to streamline services through digital platforms.
The QMIS portal can be accessed at https://qmis.knec.ac.ke/externalLogin.
KNEC exams release follows the unveiling of a digital platform for the verification of academic certificates on July 4, 2025.
Basic Education PS Julius Bitok said the app-based system, which is currently being piloted with the Public Service Commission, aims to fast-track the authentication of certificates and qualifications.
The platform has been designed to tackle the widespread issue of forged and altered certificates by providing a simple and reliable method for document verification.
“With this platform, we are saying goodbye to the era of forged certificates. Verification is now fast, secure, and accessible,” Bitok said.
The move comes amid an ongoing crackdown by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) on fake academic documents in the public sector.
Several suspects have already been apprehended, with multiple cases currently before the courts.
Bitok made the remarks at the KNEC headquarters, Mitihani
House, during the launch of the Education Assessment Resource Centre (EARC).
