The Department of Examinations announced that the remaining subjects of the 2025 General Certificate of Education Advanced Level (GCE A/L) examination, which were postponed due to the recent disaster situation in the country, will be held from January 12 to January 20, 2026.
Examinations Commissioner General Indika Kumari Liyanage said the examinations will resume on January 12 and conclude on January 20 as scheduled.
According to the Department, the examinations will be conducted at 2,086 examination centres across the country. In addition, 325 coordination centres and 32 regional collection centres will be in operation during the examination period.
Students who do not have a National Identity Card (NIC) or other valid identity documents due to the disaster situation may instead present two certified Postal ID-sized photographs.
The postponed subjects were deferred following disruptions caused by the adverse weather conditions linked to Cyclone Ditwa, which affected several parts of the island and led to logistical and safety concerns.
The Department of Examinations said all necessary arrangements have been made to ensure the smooth conduct of the remaining examinations and urged candidates to appear for the papers as per the revised schedule. (Newswire)
