2023 results coincide with new grading scheme

​​​​​​The 2023 KCSE results coincided with the introduction of a new grading scheme designed to increase university admissions. The system introduced in August 2023, drops the requirement of compulsory subjects from five to just two in determining the candidate’s final score. The new grading system has seen a significant increase in students who attained the minimum university entry grade. Education cabinet secretary Ezekiel Machogu has now directed the universities and college admissions agency to immediately align cluster and entry points with the new KCSE grading system.
