Frustration Mounts as KCSE Portal Faces Unexpected Overload

The Kenya National Examination Council says its website is working well. Students are getting their 2024 KCSE exam results. But there are some small delays.

This is because so many people are trying to see their scores at once—up to 300,000 people are checking every second! KNEC asked Kenyans to please be patient. They promised everyone would be able to get their results.

Last year was the first time KCSE results were given out online. Before that, people had to text to get them. But some got fake results that way. That's why KNEC switched to a website.

In 2024, 965,501 students took the KCSE exam. They went to 10,755 different test centers around Kenya. The exams started on October 28.

Many students and parents tried to check scores right after they came out. But they were upset when the KNEC website crashed. It stopped working right after Education Minister Julius Migos explained how to get the results.

The site showed an error message: "This page isn't working." Students were supposed to type in their exam number and name to see their scores. Minister Ogemba said anyone having trouble should call KNEC for free at 0800724900 or 0800721410.

Lots of Kenyans went on social media. They shared how frustrated they were that they couldn't see their results quickly. They had to wait because of the website issues.
