KCSE 2025 Exams Schedule for Tuesday, 11 November: Religious Studies and Biology Papers

NAIROBI, Kenya – Tuesday, November 11, 2025, marks a significant day for students under The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC), as detailed in the released KOSE timetable. The day presents a unique academic blend, commencing with religious studies and concluding with a core science subject, showcasing the diverse curriculum.

The morning session, starting at 8:00 am, is dedicated to Religious Education. In a demonstration of inclusivity, students are sitting for papers in Christian, Islamic, and Hindu Religious Education. Furthermore, KNEC has made specific provisions for candidates with visual impairments, offering large print and Braille versions of each religious paper. Notably, the Braille versions are allocated an additional 30 minutes, extending the session until 11:00 am, highlighting the council's commitment to equitable assessment conditions for all learners.

Following a three-hour break, the academic focus shifts from matters of faith to the empirical world of science. The afternoon session resumes at 2:00 pm with the Biology paper. Similar to the morning arrangements, both standard and large print versions are scheduled for two hours, while a dedicated Biology paper for the blind, administered in Braille, is given a longer duration of two and a half hours, concluding at 4:30 pm.

This carefully structured timetable ensures a smooth flow between two distinct disciplines while upholding the principles of fairness and accessibility. The provision for different learning needs reflects a modern approach to national examinations, aiming to give every student an equal opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and succeed. As candidates across the country prepare, this schedule underscores a balanced and considerate examination process.
