The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has officially opened registration for Grade 9 learners without KPSEA results, just a week before the 2025 KCSE and KJSEA registration deadline. This update comes after concerns from schools that initially struggled to add such learners to the KNEC portal.
With this urgent 7-day window, all schools must act fast to ensure every eligible learner is successfully registered.
How to Register Grade 9 Learners Without KPSEA Results
Schools must complete the registration process on the KPSEA portal before the deadline. Here’s what they need to do:
- Access the KNEC Portal
- Visit the KNEC website (knec.ac.ke) and log in via the KNEC portal login section.
- Navigate to the JSS KNEC portal for Grade 9 registration.
- Verify Learner Details
- Confirm that all students’ names and birth details match those in the KPSEA portal.
- Schools can check KPSEA results on the KPSEA portal login to cross-check missing records.
- Complete the Registration Process
- Use the updated KPSEA attendance register feature to confirm eligible learners.
- Ensure all JSS teachers handling Grade 9 are aware of the registration deadline.
Failure to meet the 7-day deadline may result in learners being locked out of official JSS exams in 2025.
Why KNEC’s Decision Matters for Grade 9 Learners

The KPSEA exams were introduced to assess learners at the end of Grade 6 under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). However, some students missed these exams, making their progression to Grade 9 uncertain.
KNEC’s decision ensures that:
- Learners without KPSEA results can still transition smoothly to Grade 9.
- Schools can now update learner records on the JSS NEMIS portal without KPSEA constraints.
- JSS teachers and administrators can focus on preparing students for KJSEA exams.
2025 KCSE & KJSEA Registration: What Schools Need to Know
The 2025 KCSE and KJSEA registration deadline is fast approaching. Schools must ensure all candidates for these national exams are registered on time via the KNEC portal.
- KCSE 2025 Candidates – Schools should use the KNEC CP2 system to ensure that teachers handling KCSE subjects are correctly listed.
- KJSEA 2025 Candidates – Learners in Grade 9 must be registered in the KNEC CBA portal for seamless assessment.
For schools preparing their students for the KJSEA 2025 timetable, accessing KJSEA sample papers on the KNEC CBA portal login will be essential for effective revision.
How JSS Teachers and Interns Can Prepare for KJSEA Exams
The registration process directly affects JSS teachers, especially those under the JSS internship program. Schools must:
- Ensure JSS interns and JSS intern teachers have access to KJSEA 2025 sample papers for student preparation.
- Guide learners on KJSEA exams, including how to access KJSEA sample papers for revision.
- Stay updated on JSS news today and the latest JSS deployment updates.
