Commissioner General Indika Kumari Liyanage has stated that nearly all the necessary steps to release the A/L 2025 results have been completed. The results are expected to be announced before April 14, 2026.
Why Are the A/L 2025 Results Taking Longer Than Usual?
The GCE A/L Examination 2025 was originally scheduled to run from 10th November to 5th December 2025. However, Cyclone Ditwah significantly disrupted the examination schedule, forcing the Department of Examinations to restructure the entire process.
As a result, the amended examination was held in two separate stages, with the rescheduled papers conducted from 12th January 2026 to 20th January 2026. Because the exam was administered in two phases, the paper-marking and result-processing timeline has naturally required additional time.
Despite this challenge, the Department of Examinations has been working diligently to ensure results reach students as quickly as possible — and the confirmation that results will be out before the New Year is welcome news for thousands of students awaiting university entrance decisions.
