The Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) results are an important milestone in a student’s academic journey, as they determine which secondary school they will attend.
If you are a student or a parent who is waiting to check your KCPE results, here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
How to check results online
- Go to the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) website (www.knec.ac.ke). This is the official website for the KCPE results.
- On the homepage, look for the “KCPE Results” tab and click on it. This will take you to the page where you can access your results.
- Enter your index number in the provided field. This is the number that was issued to you when you registered for the KCPE exams. If you do not have your index number, you can contact the school where you sat for the exams or the KNEC office to get it.
- Enter your name as it appears on the KCPE registration form.
- Enter the year you sat for the KCPE exams.
- Click on the “Search” button. This will bring up your results on the screen.
- Check your results carefully to ensure that they are correct. If you notice any errors, you can contact the KNEC office to have them corrected.
- Print out a copy of your results for future reference. You will need this copy when applying for admission to secondary school.
How to check results via SMS
- To get your KCPE results via SMS, send an SMS with your Index Number to 20076 for Safaricom, Airtel, and Orange networks. For example, if your Index Number is 1234567890, you would send the following text message, 1234567890 to 20076.
- You should receive your KCPE results via SMS within a few minutes.
- Ensure that you have enough airtime before sending the SMS.
- The cost of sending an SMS to check KCPE results is Ksh. 25 per SMS on all networks.
It is important to note that the KCPE results are usually released in November, so if you are checking your results at any other time, it is possible that they are not yet available.

In conclusion, checking your KCPE results is a simple process that can be done online through the KNEC website.
