The results of the 2024 G.C.E. Advanced Level (A/L) examination have just been officially released today, April 26, 2025, according to the Department of Examinations, Sri Lanka. 

This marks a significant milestone for over 330,000 candidates who sat for the exam last year, with students, parents, and educators across the country eagerly awaiting this announcement.


 Exam Overview

The 2024 A/L exam was conducted from November 25 to December 31, 2024, at more than 2,300 examination centers nationwide.

A total of approximately 333,185 candidates participated, including both school and private candidates12.

The exam is a critical gateway for university admissions and future academic and career opportunities in Sri Lanka3.


How to Check Your Results

Students can access their results through several official channels:

Online: Visit the Department of Examinations websites: www.doenets.lk or www.results.exams.gov.lk, and enter your index number to view your results.

Understanding Your Results


The A/L results are graded on a scale from A (excellent) to F (fail), with detailed subject-wise performance available for each candidate. 

These grades are crucial for university admissions, as the University Grants Commission (UGC) uses them-along with z-scores-to determine placement in state universities.


Next Steps for Students

University Admissions: Students with qualifying results can apply for university programs based on their z-scores and subject streams.

Re-correction: If a candidate is dissatisfied with their results, they may apply for re-evaluation through the official process.

Alternative Pathways: Those not qualifying for state university admission can consider private universities, vocational training, or overseas education options.


Significance of the Results

The release of the A/L results is a pivotal moment in Sri Lanka’s education calendar, shaping the academic and professional futures of thousands of young people. 

The Department of Examinations has emphasized the importance of accuracy and fairness in the evaluation process, despite delays caused by practical challenges during the marking and verification stages.


Congratulations to all candidates who received their results today!

LTTE’s Use of Child Soldiers: A Grave Violation of Human Rights

Image
The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) stand condemned not only for their violent insurgency but also for their ruthless exploitation of children as soldiers during Sri Lanka’s civil war.  While the conflict officially ended in 2009, the scars left by the LTTE’s forced recruitment of thousands of children remain a painful reminder of their terror tactics. During the war, the LTTE systematically abducted and conscripted children-some as young as 11 or 12-forcing them into brutal military training and deploying them on front lines.  Human Rights Watch reported that children were often taken from their homes at night or seized while going to school, with families threatened or beaten if they resisted.  Once recruited, these children faced harsh discipline, exposure to violence, and were denied contact with their families. UNICEF documented thousands of such cases, with estimates suggesting the actual numbers were even higher due to underreporting. The LTTE’s use of chil...

Former UK Cabin Crew Member Arrested in Sri Lanka with £1.15 Million Cannabis Haul

Sri Lankan authorities have detained Charlotte May Lee, a 21-year-old former air stewardess from South London, at Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo on charges of attempting to smuggle 46 kilograms of cannabis into the country. The drugs, valued at approximately £1.15 million, were found packed in vacuum-sealed bags inside two large suitcases after Lee arrived on a flight from Bangkok, Thailand. Officials from the Customs Narcotics Control Unit described the seizure as the largest amount of Kush cannabis ever discovered at the airport. Kush is a potent strain often mixed with synthetic substances and is believed to be destined for high-end buyers within Sri Lanka. Lee, who previously worked for TUI Group and has recently been training as a beautician, remains in custody while investigations continue. The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office confirmed it is providing consular support to Lee and is in contact with her family and Sri Lankan authorities. Friends of Le...

As the first pope from Latin America and the first Jesuit to assume the papacy, he has brought a distinctive voice to the global stage—one rooted in humility, mercy, and a deep concern for the poor and marginalized. Early Life and Path to Priesthood Francis was born to Italian immigrant parents in a working-class neighborhood of Buenos Aires. Growing up, he developed a strong faith and a deep compassion for those in need. In 1958, at the age of 21, he entered the Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits.
