GROUNDS FOR DEFERRAL OF EXAMINATION FEES

GROUNDS FOR DEFERRAL OF EXAMINATION FEES KASNEB introduced/revised a number of examination policies with effect from 1 July 2013. Among the policies introduced was that of deferral of examination fees. However, some students still seem not clear on the conditions under which an application for deferment may be considered. These conditions are summarised below for note: (i) A formal application shall be made by the student for deferment of examination fees to the subsequent sitting. (ii) Deferment of fees shall only be allowed on the basis of medical reasons, change of work station or similar extraneous circumstances as approved by the Secretary and Chief Executive. All relevant evidence shall be required to be attached. Each application shall be treated on its own merit. (iii) A student shall be allowed to defer fees to the subsequent sitting only ONCE in any particular level or section. The full amount of deferred fees not utilised in the subsequent sitting shall be forfeited to KASNEB. (iv) An administrative charge equivalent to 15% of the applicable examination fees shall be levied as a precondition for the deferment of the examination fees. (v) An application for deferment together with the administrative charge must be received at least thirty (30) days before the commencement date of the examination, except for medical reasons for which an application may be received any time prior to the commencement of the examinations.
