Reprieve for the over 700,000 KCSE 2024 students who missed university Cut-off

All is not lost for the over 700,000 students who sat the 2024 KCSE exams and missed the university entry mark of grade C+(Plus) and above.

Data from the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) shows that only 246,391 attained the university entry points out of the 962,512 candidates who sat for the examinations.

The students who missed the university Cut-off can enroll for diploma and certificate courses in colleges and technical institutions (TVETs).

The candidates who failed to Garner the university Cut-off grade of C+ (plus) and above will also get a second chance if they wish to retake the exams after the Ministry of Education announced the introduction of a mid-year KCSE examination, set to take place annually in July.

Education Cabinet Secretary Migos Ogamba said the move is anchored on enhancing efficiency and effectiveness of the national examination system.

The mid year Exams will give a chance to those who wish to repeat class, ill candidates, or those who may have missed the examination due to other challenges.

“Starting this year and following extensive stakeholder consultations, I wish to announce that the Kenya National Examination Council will introduce a mid-year series of the KCSE examination to be administered in July every year,” CS Ogamba said.

He added that the Exams will target repeaters too.

“The examination will target candidates wishing to repeat the KCSE examination and those who may have missed sitting the examinations due to sickness or other unexpected issues.”

Additionally, the mid-year examinations seek to consider adult candidates.

According to Knec 1,693 candidates scored A (plain), a significant increase from 1,216 in 2023.

Other top results included 7,743 students scoring A-, 19,150 with B+, 43,120 achieving B (plain), 75,347 B- (minus), and 99,338 C+ (plus), marking the number of students who met the university entry mark.

This means that 712,537 candidates did not attain the university entry mark representing 75 per cent of the total number that sat for the exams.

These include 111,717 students who scored C (plain), 118,781 with C- (minus), 128,885 with D+ (plus), 153,334 with D (plain), 151,487 with D- (minus), and 48,333 with an E.
