The Examinations Department will issue the G.C.E. Advanced Level Examination result in a few days.

The examination was held in August. “The A/L results would probably be issued by late December,” Examinations Commissioner General Anura Edirisinghe said.

The examination was held at 1,818 centres throughout the country of which 243,819 candidates sat the examination.

Out of the 243,819 candidates 199,062 are school candidates while the rest 44,757 are private candidates.

The result of school candidates will be sent to schools and private candidates will receive their result at their private addresses. The answer script evaluation process has already been completed.

The Examinations Department has commenced entering the data regarding results into the computer system.

The Examinations Commissioner General rejected the rumour that the Examinations

Department recruited unqualified evaluators for the answer scripts’ evaluation process.

He said the Examinations Department does not recruit unqualified evaluators.

“It has never been the practice. The Advanced Level answer scripts’ evaluators should definitely be graduates who are teaching Advanced Level students and have considerable experience. The evaluators should also be recommended by the principal of the school,” the Commissioner said.
