FAQ: Grade 10 Subject Combinations
How many subject combinations are there for Grade 10 in Kenya?
511 official combinations, spread across 7 tracks under 3 pathways: STEM, Social Sciences, and Arts & Sports Science.
How do I check my subject combination?
Use the search box and filters above to find a combination by code or subject, or log in to the KEMIS Selection and Placement portal to see which combinations your selected schools actually offer.
Which subject combination is marketable in Kenya?
STEM combinations anchored on Core Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Computer Studies tend to open the widest range of university and TVET pathways, particularly for engineering, health sciences and technology. That said, marketability should be weighed alongside a learner’s actual strengths and interests, not chosen on pathway name alone.
What is the difference between a pathway and a track?
A pathway is one of the three broad Senior School streams. Each pathway splits into tracks — for example STEM splits into Pure Sciences, Applied Sciences and Technical Studies — and each track contains many specific 3-subject combinations.
Can I change my subject combination after selection?
Yes, through the official KEMIS portal’s change/transfer window during the selection period. Once placement is confirmed and a learner has reported to a Senior School, changes become harder and are subject to the school’s and Ministry’s guidelines.
Is Agriculture part of STEM or Applied Sciences?
Agriculture sits within the Applied Sciences track, which is one of three tracks under the STEM pathway alongside Pure Sciences and Technical Studies.
