Query Management Information System (QMIS)
The Query Management Information System (QMIS) is an electronic platform for online submission and processing of queries relating to examination results, such as Certification of Examination Results for candidates who have lost their certificates, Confirmation of Examination Results, and Equation of Foreign Qualifications.
Other queries handled by the system include:
Bio data amendments (name, photo, gender, year of birth, birth certificate number, citizenship, entry code).
Direct Recoveries for KCPE/KCSE result slips, certificates, and result printout.
Results (marks) queries i.e., absenteeism, missing marks, and payment queries.
Below is a detailed schedule of the QMIS process:
- A client needs a computer or mobile phone with internet access.
- Use the web address https://qmis.knec.ac.ke to access the QMIS system.
- If new, the user is prompted to register; a registered user logs in using their credentials.
- The client then accesses the User Manual. The user can identify the requirements relevant to their query and upload scanned copies of the requisite documents.
- They then make a payment of the amount as prompted by the system. Payments are by M-pesa.
- Upon successful processing of the query, KNEC notifies the client to collect their processed document(s) using the client’s provided email or phone number. At the point of collection, the client is required to present original copies of the documents they had attached during the application process.
