MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRPERSON
It is with a great sense of responsibility that I issue this message to the book titled “Admission to
Undergraduate Courses of the Universities in Sri Lanka, Academic Year 2013/2014”. Gaining
admission to a University is a major step in your life. The degree programmes in universities will not
only provide knowledge in a wide range of subjects but will also inculcate academic qualities,
competency & life skills that would enable self guidance in future career.
This publication assist you to select subjects, degree program that you would like to acquire in the
University. It provides detailed information on universities, rules & regulations & policies pertaining
to university admission & minimum qualifications required for university admission & subjects prerequisites to certain courses of study.
I am sure that you would find this publication useful and informative and that the information provided
would help you make informed decisions about the course you eventually pursue.
I would strongly advice you to read the contents very carefully so that essential information
pertaining to a particular course is acquired by you.
Admission to universities is still within the policy of “free education” and is extremely competitive.
Out of 55,241 students who applied for university admission based on the 2012 G.C.E. (A/L)
Examination, only 24,198 students were selected (43.8%). However, with your knowledge and
talent, there is no limit for your achievements.
I wish you every success in your university education and hope that qualifications obtained from the
University would lead to a fruitful career that you would enjoy. I would kindly request you to be
respectful for the free education that still exists in the country & act in an responsible manner to
sustain it.
Finally, I take this opportunity to thank the officers and staff of the Admissions Department and the
other officers of the UGC who tirelessly contributed to produce this Handbook.

DETERMINATION OF DISTRICTS OF CANDIDATES
4.1
For purpose of university admission, the district of a candidate will be determined as follows:The district of any candidate (whether school or private) will be the district of location of school/
schools in which the candidate was enrolled (on the basis of school records) for the highest
number of days during the three-year period ending on the last day of the month immediately
preceding the month in which he/she sat the G.C.E (A/L) Examination to qualify for admission
even in case of having a proof of residence in another district for a period more than the days he/
she was enrolled in a school specified above.
Provided however, the district of a candidate who has been enrolled in a school/schools for a
period of less than one year during the three - year period stipulated above will be determined on
the basis of the location of school/schools in which he/she had been enrolled, permanent place of
residence of the candidate and other evidence as decided by the UGC.
4.2
In the case of a candidate who sat the G.C.E. (A/L) Examination as a school candidate, the Head
of the school concerned should certify, on the basis of school records, the accuracy of the information
provided by the candidate. Every candidate, who sat the G.C.E. (A/L) Examination as a private
candidate, should send the following documents along with his/her application for admission, his/
her
1. Original of the School Leaving Certificate or Original of the Pupil’s Record Sheet
2. Original of the Extracts of Electoral Register obtained from District Elections Office
(Year 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013)
3. Original of the Grama Niladhari Certificate (Counter Signed by the Divisional Secretary

IMPORTANT
The heads of schools should take special care to ensure that the candidates provide correct information.
Provision of incorrect information by any candidate will be considered as serious and will be liable for
appropriate action including criminal action, rejection of application or cancellation of registration at any
time during the period of studentship at the University and will not qualify for the award of a degree. It may be
noted that in recent years there have been several cases of students whose admission/registration was cancelled on detection that they had submitted false information on school attendance and residence.

COMPETITION FOR ADMISSION
5.1
Admission to universities is extremely competitive and the mere fact that an applicant has satisfied
the minimum requirements and the pre-requisites is no guarantee that he/she will be admitted.
In recent years the numbers ranging from 118,000 – 144,000 have obtained the minimum requirements
for admission to universities, but the actual number admitted has been only about 17,000 – 24,000.
The number selected as a proportion of the number sat the Advanced Level Examination has been
only about 11% and as a proportion of the number satisfying minimum requirements for admission
has been around 17% (Table 02).
5.2
The minimum Z - scores required for admission to different courses from each district, which is
called the ‘Cut-Off-Point’ (COP) for the Academic Year 2012/2013 i.e. last year is given in the
annex 4 of the part 4.
It is important to note that the Cut-Off-Point may vary from year to year depending on
factors such as performance of students, number of places available in the University
etc. and the Cut-Off-Points for the Academic Year 2013/2014 will depend on such factors.

COURSE PREFERENCES
9.1
Every candidate should clearly indicate in the application for admission the courses of study to
which he/she seeks entry. Candidates will not be considered for the courses of study to
which they have not marked a preference. They can apply for any number of courses if they
are qualified to be considered for those courses. If a candidate wishes to be considered for two or
more courses of study, such courses of study should be indicated in descending order of preference.
No candidates will be permitted to change the order of preference after one month of the
closing date of applications.
9.2
A complete list of the courses of study available is set out in Annex I. Students should be guided by
this Annex when selecting the courses they wish to follow. However, when indicating the courses of
study according to their order of preference, candidates should clearly understand that initially
they would be selected only for the courses of study mentioned under 7.2 and not for a
particular university or a particular subject combination of a university stated in Annex 1.
9.3
When a candidate has indicated preferences for two or more courses of study, he/she will, in the
first instance, be considered for admission to the course to which he/she has given first preference.
If the candidate is not selected for that course, he/she will be considered for the next course of study
he/she has given second preference in the application. This process is illustrated by the following
example:
Assume that a candidate has indicated in his application ten courses of study in the following order
of preference;
1.
Management
2.
Public Management (Special)
3.
Commerce
4.
Estate Management & Valuation
5.
Management Studies (TV)
6.
Business Information Systems (Special)
7.
Law
8.
Arts (SAB)
9.
Architecture
10. Quantity Surveying
This candidate will be considered first for Management, then for Public Management (Special),
next for Commerce and so on according to his/her order of preference until he/she is selected or is
found not to qualify for any of these ten courses of study. Let us presume that his/her Z score,
which is inadequate for both Management and Public Management (Special) qualifies him/her for
admission to Commerce, he/she will then be selected for Commerce and will not be considered for
any of the preferences given in 4 to 10 above.
9.4
Those who wish to change the course preference order should do so in writing according to the
format appended below and send under registered cover to reach the Additional Secretary / Academic
Affairs & University Admissions, University Grants Commission, No 20, Ward Place, Colombo 7,
within a month of the closing date of applications. The signature you place here should be same
as the signature you have already placed in your University Application Form. Requests for change
the order of course preference through fax or e-mail shall not be accepted.

SPECIAL ADMISSION
In admitting students to universities, it is a common practice in many countries to reserve a few
places for special categories of students such as those who have excelled in sports, arts and culture;
blind and differently abled; personnel of armed forces; teachers; and foreign students. Only a very
few number is admitted on the special grounds specified above. The special categories of candidates
who qualify for special admission to universities in Sri Lanka are described below ; and selection of
students for special admission will be made in accordance with the criteria specified in section 3.2.1
of this Handbook.

blind students (who sat the 2013 G.C.E (A/L) Examination using the Braille system) to courses in
Arts and differently abled students (who are medically certified as disabled) to courses in Arts,
Commerce, Biological Science and Physical Science. It is important to note that, only candidates

the appropriate subject pre-requisites (set out in Section 8) for the relevant course of study will be
considered under this special provision. Applicants are required to submit Medical Certificates

UNIVERSITY GRANTS COMMISSION
The Director General of Education through a Government Gazette Notification will entertain
applications for admission of teachers under this special provision. Selections will be made by
the UGC based on the performance (Aggregate and / or marks obtained for the relevant
subjects) of candidates at the General Arts Qualifying (External) Examination or the First

ADDITIONAL INTAKE
For some subjects in the Arts streams, an adequate number of students may not be selected on
the basis of the admission criteria specified in section 3 above. As a result, some Faculties and
Departments could be in a position to admit a larger number than the number selected under
the normal admission criteria. In such circumstances, the UGC may, at the request of the
Universities concerned, decide to admit a limited number of additional students for selected
subject areas. This is ‘an additional intake’ aimed at making optimal use of the human and
physical resources available at Universities, as well as meeting skilled manpower needs of the
society. Since candidates are selected out of those who have already applied for the normal
intake, no separate application need to be made for selection under the Additional
Intake. In order to be eligible for admission under this provision every candidate should have
necessarily obtained at least a “C” Grade for the subject (in the case of English Language
minimum requirement is a “S” Grade) for which he/she would be considered. Successful
candidates should study this subject area through out the duration of his/her university education.
If the candidate intends to obtain a specialized degree he/she should select the same subject
due to which he/she was selected under this special provision. The selection under this provision
will be made considering the order of Z-Scores of new syllabus & old syllabus separately on
an all island merit basis.

Courses of Study according to the order of preference:
Refer Section 09 of this Handbook before filling this section.
Applicants can apply for any number of courses if they have fulfilled the minimum
requirements and subject prerequisites for those courses. No candidates will be
permitted to change the order of preference after one month of the closing date of

Applicants should clearly understand that they will be considered only for the courses
of study to which they have marked a preference. Candidates will not be considered
for the courses of study to which they have not marked a preference.
If you wish to be considered for several courses for which you are qualified, indicate in the
column marked “Course of study (code)” the preference that you give for each course of study
first and the University at which you wish to follow those courses of study according to your
order of preference in the section marked “Order of University Preference (University Code)”
thereafter. In both cases indicate the relevant code number/s (ie. 01,02,06,25,etc…) and
character/s (ie. A, B, C, etc…) as given in the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that
an applicant will be admitted to a course of study or to a University of his choice just because
he/she has satisfied the minimum requirements and the subject pre-requisites.
Eg:. Assume that you wish to be considered first for Medicine (01), then for Dental Surgery
(02), then for Veterinary Science (03), Food Science & Technology (35), Auyrveda(32),
Agriculture(04), Biological Science(06), Law(25), Applied Sciences - Bio.Sc.(07),
Management Studies – TV(22), Information & CommiunicationTechnology(38) in that
of preference order. And also you wish to be considered for admission to follow the
course in Medicine (01) at the Universities of Sri Jayewardenepura(C), Colombo (A),
Peradeniya(B), Kelaniya(D), and Ruhuna(F) in that order of preference, Biological
Science(06) at the Universities of Colombo(A), Kelaniya(D), Peradeniya(B), Sri
