The Kenya National Examination Council, commonly abbreviated as KNEC, is the examination body tasked with the responsibility of overseeing national examinations in Kenya. In line with the recent digitization of services in the country, KNEC launched an online portal that allows candidates and institutions to register and check their exam results online. The KNEC portal  also has several other performance, supervision, and monitoring-related features.

The portal was designed for candidates at primary (KCPE) and high school (KCSE) levels since KNEC conducts the exams for both.
