Knec Rules to prevent exam cheating
KNEC has already issued instructions to supervisors, invigilators, and applicants, urging them to carefully observe the time limit and ensure that no exam papers are opened before the allotted period.
Cheating will not help you. In fact, should anyone try to make you cheat or should you know of any other candidate involved in this bad practice, you must report this immediately. You are required to thoroughly read the last page of your examination timetable under the heading ‘penalty for examination irregularities’.”
“The time allowed for each paper is indicated against the name of the paper and no extra time is to be allowed. Supervisors and invigilators should ensure that candidates are issued with personalized mark sheets that bear their correct names and assessment numbers,” the instructions read.
