2020 Ordinary Level Examination results released

The results of 2020 G.C.E Ordinary Level Examination have been released, the Commissioner General of Examinations, Sanath Pujitha announced.  The exam results can be obtained from the official website of the Department of Examinations – www.doenets.lk.  However, the results of aesthetic subjects have not been finalized as the practical exams are yet to be conducted.  The Ordinary Level exam was initially scheduled to be held in December 2020. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was postponed several times until the date was fixed for March 01, 2021.  More than 622,300 candidates faced the Ordinary Level examination at 4,513 centers set up island-wide. A total of 423,746 school candidates and 198,606 private candidates turned up for the exam this year.  Releasing the results of the exam was delayed due to the hold-up in the practical exams of aesthetic subjects. The practical exams were scheduled to be held from August 28 – September 08, but the ongoing teacher-principal trade union action, which began in early July, has affected the conduct of the test.
