Comprehensive Academic Management
From exam creation to report card generation, Elimika provides a complete academic management solution that supports both Kenya's CBC (rubric-based) and 8-4-4 (percentage-based) curricula. Teachers enter marks online, the system handles grading, and professional report cards are generated automatically.
Flexible Exam Setup for Any Curriculum
Elimika's exam management module gives schools full flexibility over how assessments are structured. Configure continuous assessment tests (CATs), midterm exams, and end-of-term evaluations with custom weightings. The system supports both the traditional percentage-based marks used in 8-4-4 and the rubric-based assessment descriptors required for CBC classes.
Each class can have its own grading configuration, meaning schools running both CBC and 8-4-4 simultaneously can maintain separate grading standards without any conflict. Exam results feed directly into report card generation, performance analysis, and parent communication — creating a seamless workflow from assessment to reporting.
Subject-Based Exam Entry
Teachers enter marks by subject and class. Each exam is configured with custom weightings — CAT, midterm, end-of-term — and the system calculates totals automatically.
Configurable Grading Per Class
Define different grading scales for each class level. CBC classes use the 8-point rubric (EE, ME, AE, BE), while 8-4-4 classes use percentage-based grading with custom grade boundaries.
Term & Year Management
Organize exams by academic year and term. Configure exam types (opener, midterm, end-term), set assessment dates, and maintain a complete historical record of all assessments.
Role-Based Access Control
Administrators control who can view and edit marks. Subject teachers only see their subjects. Class teachers get a complete view. Principals can access everything with full audit trails.
Professional Report Cards with School Branding
Generate polished, professional report cards that parents are proud to receive. Elimika produces fully branded PDF report cards for both CBC and 8-4-4 curricula, complete with your school logo, motto, colors, and custom fields. CBC reports include competency descriptors, strand-level assessments, and the 7 core competency evaluations. 8-4-4 reports include percentage marks, class rankings, subject positions, and teacher comments.
CBC Report Cards
Generate competency-based report cards with proper CBC descriptors (EE, ME, AE, BE), strand-level performance, teacher comments per learning area, and core competency assessments aligned to KICD standards.
8-4-4 Report Cards
Traditional report cards with percentage marks, class rankings, subject positions, mean scores, teacher comments, and principal remarks. Includes term-by-term comparison and aggregate performance.
Professional PDF Output
Every report card is generated as a high-quality PDF with your school logo, official header, stamps, and branding. Reports can be printed, downloaded, or shared digitally with parents via SMS link.
School Branding & Customization
Customize report card templates with your school motto, badge, colors, and layout preferences. Add custom fields for discipline, extracurricular activities, and boarding house information.

Per-Subject Performance
Drill into each subject to see which topics or strands learners are struggling with, enabling targeted intervention and remediation.
Data-Driven Insights for Better Outcomes
Raw exam scores are only useful when they tell a story. Elimika's performance analysis engine transforms marks data into actionable insights that help teachers identify struggling learners, spot subject-level weaknesses, and track improvement over time.
Generate detailed reports by subject, class, stream, or individual student. Compare performance across terms, identify mean score trends, and export analysis reports as PDF or Excel files. For CBC classes, the analysis tracks competency attainment across the 7 core areas. For 8-4-4 classes, it provides traditional mean scores, rankings, and grade distribution.
Streamlined Marks Entry for Teachers
We know that teachers are busy. That is why Elimika's marks entry interface is designed for maximum speed and minimum frustration. Teachers can enter marks from any device — desktop, tablet, or phone — with auto-save, keyboard navigation, and instant validation that catches errors before they are submitted.
Online Marks Entry
Teachers log in from any device and enter marks directly into the system. The interface is optimized for speed — tab through cells, auto-save, and instant validation prevent errors.
Bulk Upload via Excel
For large classes, download a pre-formatted Excel template, enter marks offline, and upload. The system validates data integrity, flags duplicates, and imports everything in seconds.
Deadline Management
Administrators set marks entry deadlines per exam. Teachers see countdown timers. Late entries are blocked automatically. Reminder notifications are sent as deadlines approach.
Multi-Teacher Support
Multiple teachers can enter marks simultaneously for different subjects in the same class. The system handles concurrent access gracefully with no data conflicts or overwrites.
One System, Two Curricula
Kenya is in a transition period where many schools are running both the CBC and 8-4-4 curricula simultaneously. Some classes follow the CBC framework with rubric-based grading, while upper classes may still follow the 8-4-4 system with percentage marks and KCSE preparation. Elimika handles this seamlessly.
When you set up your classes, you simply assign the curriculum type to each class level. The system automatically applies the correct grading scale, report card template, and assessment framework for that curriculum. Teachers entering marks for a CBC class will see rubric descriptors, while those entering for an 8-4-4 class will see percentage fields. Report cards are generated with the appropriate format for each — no manual switching needed.
