Step 1: Requirements

You need a username - this is the school code e.g 11212100
You need a password - I will assume that by visiting here, you had opened the school account with KNEC and you were issued with a password, this means each school has a username and a password, if your school is new in this business, contact KNEC examinations body using these contacts

Step 2: Accessing KNEC Examinations Portal

To access KNEC examinations portal, click on this link http://www.knec-portal.ac.ke/ A page like the one below will appear

Since our interest will be on the secondary section, we will focus on the right hand side of the panel and get a look at the command buttons [an area with a circle marked red]

Step 3: Access projects page

Click on the projects command button and this button will change its name depending on the year the project was to be submitted, as am writing this documentation, the button is labeled 2016 projects as shown below

Note: if you click on the button and there is no response, please note that it has not been activated or the site is incurring a huge traffic at the moment else contact your local District Education Officer for further clarifications or call KNEC officials in the contacts above

Step 4: Sign In

Upon clicking on the projects button, a page like the one shown below will appear, enter your username and password then click log in

Step 5: Downloading Instructions and selecting subject

To download instructions;

On the right hand side of the page labeled 'select instruction', click on the down arrow besides the label and select the instruction you want to download then click the 'download' button besides the down arrow [this action will download an instruction in form of zipped PDF format into your device. Sometimes, some software may not open the document in your device, when such kind of activity is anticipated, try to open with Google Chrome software, you can also use these software Nitro, Pdf Reader, Foxit, Latest Firefox Browser, Opera and so much more

To enter project marks, proceed as follows;

On the left hand side of the project page, on the subject drop down menu, select the subject on which you want to enter marks and select 'GET FILE'
Upon selecting, a new page will open that has a list of students pursuing the subject

Step 6: Enter Marks

Once the marks page opens (as shown below), append marks on the last column with a text box at each student record and normally sorted in the ascending order of Index Numbers
Then click the 'post' button at the bottom right hand side below the score column

Step 7: Finally Download the report

After you have entered and posted the marks, download the marks report that will be signed by your principal and submitted to knec via District Education office.
To download a report, next to 'project marks' tab, click on 'report' tab, select subject/course code and generate a report from 'view report' button, then download to your device, print and submit to your principal to sign and forward to KNEC via D.E.O offices

This is all you need to submit a report to KNEC; to ensure the security of the parameters you entered,

Never share your password with anybody [the world has too many malicious people] it's in order to keep changing the password over a given period to ensure integrity and security of your data
Every time you access this KNEC portal from a public place, Make sure you sign out and clear your browser's history [ask cyber attendant for assistance] and don't instruct your browser to cache your passwords its a grave danger
Don't wait for last minutes to submit project marks, If the deadline expires, KNEC will charge you a fee per student for marks submitted late
Project marks portal is always active from the months of September to November
Campaign against leakages, we need transparency in this sector, I think you understand the importance of education in every society.
