The University Grants Commission is a key source for Sri Lanka’s university admission guidance. The relevant handbook and application notice should match the academic year and your qualification.

Read before choosing courses

Use the UGC handbook to compare eligibility and programme-specific conditions. Check the official course and institution details rather than relying only on a previous year’s selection outcome.

Apply through the stated route

Follow the current application notice for forms, supporting information and deadlines. A handbook being available does not establish that an application window is open today.

Separate selection from registration

If a selection is published, read the follow-up instructions from UGC and the relevant institution. Keep the acknowledgements for each stage; ScholarDates does not apply or accept a place on your behalf.
