When are O/L and A/L results released in Sri Lanka?
O/L results are typically released in late April or early May, approximately 3–4 months after the December examination. A/L results are usually published in late April or May, about 4–5 months after the August examination. The Department of Examinations announces exact release dates in advance through media and their official website.
What should I do if the doenets.lk website is not loading?
The doenets.lk website often experiences heavy traffic immediately after results are released. If the site is slow or not loading, try refreshing after a few minutes, use the SMS service as an alternative, or access the site during off-peak hours (early morning or late evening). The website usually stabilises within 24 hours of the initial release.
Can I check exam results without my index number?
No, you must have your examination index number to check results online or via SMS. If you’ve lost your index number, contact your school or the Department of Examinations Sri Lanka. Your index number is printed on your admission card and any correspondence from the examination department.
Are the results on doenets.lk the official results?
Yes, results published on doenets.lk are the official results from the Department of Examinations, Sri Lanka. However, the printed result sheet issued by your school remains the official document for university applications and other formal purposes.
How can I get my printed result sheet?
Printed result sheets (Z-scores for A/L, detailed grade sheets for O/L) are distributed through your school approximately 1–2 weeks after online results are released. Contact your school’s office to collect your official result sheet. If you were a private candidate, you will need to collect your results from the Department of Examinations office in Pelawatte, Battaramulla.
