The Ministry of Education has issued new directives regarding the 2025 Kenya Junior Secondary Education Assessment (KJSEA) and Kenya Primary Learners Education Assessment (KPLEA) registration. All Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) and Primary Schools must ensure they register their Grade 9 learners for the upcoming KJSEA exams and Grade 6 learners for KPSEA exams before the set deadline.

This directive comes as part of the Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) framework under the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC), ensuring that learners complete their assessments on time.
How to Register for 2025 KJSEA & KPLEA
Schools are required to log into the KNEC CBA portal using the correct registration link: cbasa.knec.ac.ke
Key Guidelines for Registration:
✔️ KJSEA registration is separate from KPSEA registration. Schools must use the designated KNEC portal login to avoid confusion.
✔️ Registration is mandatory for all eligible learners in Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) and Primary Schools.
✔️ Schools must verify learner details on the KNEC CBA portal login to avoid errors in KJSEA 2025 timetable and exam materials.
✔️ Institutions should also ensure their JSS teachers and exam coordinators have access to the KNEC examiners portal login for updates.
Registration Deadline for 2025 KJSEA & KPLEA

⏳ Final date: 28th March 2025
⚠️ No extension will be granted.
The Ministry of Education and KNEC have stressed that there will be no deadline extensions. Schools that fail it to complete the KJSEA and KPSEA portal login process before the deadline risk exclusion from the exams.
Why This Registration is Crucial
✔️ Smooth administration of KJSEA and KPSEA exams – Early registration ensures schools receive the correct KJSEA sample papers, exam materials, and KJSEA 2025 timetable on time.
✔️ Prevents last-minute system failures – The KNEC website may experience high traffic as the deadline approaches, leading to delays in accessing the KNEC CP2 portal and other essential services.
✔️ Ensures learners are eligible for results release – Proper registration guarantees that learners will appear in the KPSEA results release date and KJSEA exams results on the KNEC results portal.
Additional KNEC Resources for Schools
To assist schools in preparing for the upcoming exams, KNEC has provided the following resources:
✔️ KJSEA 2025 Sample Papers – Available for schools to help learners familiarize themselves with the exam format.
✔️ KPSEA 2024 Exam Papers PDF – Schools can download past papers to aid in revision.
✔️ KNEC Examiners Portal Login – Accessible to registered teachers and examiners.
✔️ KPSEA Attendance Register – Schools must ensure all registered candidates are accounted for.
