According to the timetable, first session papers will be held in the morning hours of between 8am to around 10.30am depending the duration of the paper, with a break from 10.30 am to 2am before paving way for second session papers which will be conducted in the afternoon from 2.00pm to around 4pm or 4.30pm.
The examination will end on November 22, 2024 with Physics paper three, Practical. Below is the 2024 KSCE timetable.
KNEC last year introduced a policy whereby examination papers are collected twice a day by the Centre Managers in a bid to curb early exposure of the afternoon papers.
KNEC CEO Dr. David Njengere said that after the first session in the morning, the Centre Managers will return those papers to the container and they will collect the second session paper at 12.30pm and they will be administered at 2pm.
