Teachers who graduated earlier will also get employed as opposed to fresh graduates.
TSC Internship Score sheet 2023; TSC Scraps Internship Marks
Surprisingly, TSC failed to factor in marks for teacher interns. Previously, applicants who produced evidence for internship secured 15 marks depending on the duration spent in the internship program. Surprisingly, the commission has now added 15 marks to the length of stay since graduation.
TSC Scoresheet 2023- Marks for Academic Qualifications
Teachers with more quality grades in both degrees, diplomas, KCSE, and KCPE certificates will get recruited easily. However, rare combinations that include Physics/Chemistry, French, Home Science, Computer, Woodwork, Aviation, Biology/Agriculture, and Chemistry/Biology do not attract many applicants. The competition is therefore not stiff.
Applicants must present original and legible photocopies of the following
documents:-
- National identification cards;
- National Council of Persons with Disability (NCPWD) Card (where applicable);
- KCPE Certificates;
- KCSE Certificates (include first attempt certificate if repeated exams);
- Diploma/Degree Certificates and official transcripts;
- Primary and Secondary Schools leaving certificates
NB: Provisional transcript shall not be accepted.
Where names on the submitted documents differ, the applicant will be required to submit a sworn affidavit.

Advantages of Communication ability and Co-curricular certificate of participation
One who has a co-curricular certificate of participation will also stand a higher chance of scoring more marks. This part is very crucial when it comes to breaking ties.
