[Based on the results of the G.C.E. (Advanced Level) Examination 2024 (after re- scrutiny)]
Minimum "Z" Scores for selection to various Courses of Study of Universities, in respect of each district
* Selection 100% on an all Island Merit Basis # Courses of Study for which the subject oriented Practical Tests / Aptitude Tests were conducted.
NQC - No Qualified Candidates. This may be due to the following reasons.
1. District quota for a given course of study in a given district has already been filled by the students of that district.
2. Number of places in a given course of study in a given university has already been filled by the students with higher Z -scores from other districts.
3. No candidates who have satisfied the minimum requirements for admission for a given course of study from that district.
Note :
Certain courses of study are not conducted in all three languages. Therefore some students may not get selected to such courses of study in some universities,
even though they have obtained the minimum Z-score required to get selected.

FAQs

What are Z scores and how are they calculated?
Z scores are statistical measures that indicate how many standard deviations an element is from the mean. In the context of university admissions, Z scores are calculated based on students' performance in the G.C.E. Advanced Level examinations. They reflect the relative performance of students compared to their peers, helping universities determine eligibility for various courses. A higher Z score indicates better performance, making it a crucial factor in the selection process.
Which universities are included in the Z scores for 2024/2025?
The document includes Z scores for several universities in Sri Lanka, such as the University of Colombo, University of Peradeniya, and University of Jaffna. Each university has specific Z score requirements for different courses, reflecting the competitive nature of admissions. This information is vital for students to identify which universities they may qualify for based on their exam results.
How do Z scores impact university admissions?
Z scores significantly impact university admissions as they are used to rank applicants based on their academic performance. Universities set minimum Z score thresholds for each course, and students must meet or exceed these scores to be considered for admission. This system ensures that the most qualified candidates are selected, making it essential for students to aim for high Z scores in their examinations.
What courses require the highest Z scores for admission?
Typically, courses in Medicine and Engineering require the highest Z scores for admission due to their competitive nature. The document outlines the specific Z score requirements for these courses, indicating the level of academic excellence needed for prospective students. Understanding these requirements helps students prioritize their studies and prepare effectively for the G.C.E. Advanced Level examinations.
Are there any courses with no qualified candidates?
Yes, the document notes instances where certain courses have no qualified candidates, indicated by 'NQC'. This may occur if the district quota for a course has been filled or if no candidates meet the minimum requirements. Such information is crucial for students to understand their chances of admission and to consider alternative courses or universities.
