The University Grants Commission (UGC) released the university entrance (cut-off marks) Minimum Z - Score values for academic Year 2011/2012 based on GCE (A/L) Exam 2011. Following a Court order UGC issued minimum Z - Scores separately for New Syllabus and Old Syllabus. This year release of Z-scores was delayed due to the 'Z-score crisis' that occurred after releasing 2011 A/L examination results. The initial Z-scores were were cancelled after a Court Order and the re-corrected Z-scores and ranks are now released.
The Supreme Court ordered the UGC to admit an additional 5,609 students to universities after solving the ‘Z-score’ crisis. Due to this additional intake, about 27,000 students would be admitted to Sri Lankan Universities based on the GCE (A/L) results 2011. It was a 25 per cent increase.
The UGC said that it will take necessary action to admit the students to universities by the end of March 2013
