In KwaZulu-Natal, the 2024 National Senior Certificate examination period also ran from 21 October to 28 November. Thousands of matriculants in the province are now awaiting their results, hopeful they have secured their matric certificates.

The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education implemented precautionary measures to ensure a credible and error-free examination process.

Matric Results Release Date

The Department of Basic Education (DBE) has announced that the national release of the 2024 matric results will take place on 13 January. The following morning, on 14 January, provincial education departments, KwaZulu-Natal, will make the results available to candidates.

How to Access Your Matric Results

Matriculants can access their 2024 results through two main methods:

  1. Online: The Department of Basic Education’s website will host a results portal. Candidates will need their examination number to log in and view their results.

  2. School or Exam Centre: Results will also be available at the schools or exam centres where students wrote their exams. This option is ideal for those who prefer physical copies or need assistance interpreting their results.

Understanding Matric Pass Levels

Bachelor’s Pass

To achieve a Bachelor’s Pass, students must score at least 50% in four designated subjects, including Life Orientation, and at least 30% in three other subjects. Only one subject may be failed. This pass level grants access to universities for programmes like medicine, law, and psychology.

Diploma Pass

A Diploma Pass requires at least 40% in four designated subjects, including Life Orientation, and 30% in three others. Students are allowed to fail one subject. This pass level qualifies students for entry to certain universities, technical colleges, and diploma programmes in fields such as nursing and engineering.

Higher Certificate

To obtain a Higher Certificate, students need 40% in their Home Language, 40% in two other subjects, and 30% in three additional subjects. Failing more than one subject results in an overall fail. A Higher Certificate allows entry to Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges or private institutions, depending on admission requirements.

Failure and Second Chances

Students who fail two subjects with scores below 30% fail the year. However, matriculants should not be discouraged. Opportunities are available to rewrite failed subjects or redo the entire year. Support programmes and resources are in place to assist students in improving their results.
