The public has been requested to refrain from publishing the results of the 2023 (2024) GCE Advanced Level Examinations on social media.

Chairperson of the University Grants Commission (UGC) Prof. Sampath Amaratunge warned that such displays on social media can adversely affect the students’ opportunity to apply to universities. 

Prof. Amaratunge pointed out that any person can use the information published on social media, such as the index number and National Identity Card (NIC) number on the results shared on social media.

He further said that this information can be used to apply for university admission by third parties, which will result in the actual applicant losing the opportunity to apply and secure a university admission.

“In the event of such an incident, the actual applicant will be able to gain this access only after remedying the entire process, which will take a long period of time,” he said.

Reiterating the dangers of sharing one’s A/ Level results on social media, especially Facebook, Prof. Amaratunge requested students and their families to refrain from doing so. 

The results of the 2023 (2024) GCE Advanced Level Examinations were released on May 31.
