Download 2022 A/L Minimum Z Score Tables for University Admissions

These Z score tables for 2022 A/L provide valuable insights into the cutoff scores required for admission to various degree programs across the country’s universities.

The Z score system allows the UGC to standardize and compare student performance across different curriculums, districts, and years. A higher Z score indicates you performed better relative to other students in that subject.

These tables are organized with rows representing different districts and columns displaying courses offered at universities, shown as [subject] combinations like [Biological Science]. The values listed are the minimum Z scores that qualified for admission to those particular programs for the 2022 A/L batch.

For example, if a row lists the district as Colombo and the course as [Physical Science], the corresponding value of say 2.15 means students from the Colombo district needed a minimum Z score of 2.15 for their Physical Science subjects to be admitted to that degree program in the 2022 intake.

UNIVERSITY ADMISSION – ACADEMIC YEAR 2022/2023

  • English
  • Sinhala

How do you interpret and estimate your university selection?

While these are the minimum scores for last year’s admission cycle, the tables give current students a good gauge for estimating the Z score benchmarks they may need to attain when the 2023 A/Level results are processed for university placements.

Here are some tips on how to interpret and leverage this data:

1. Identify the courses and universities you’re interested in and locate the corresponding columns and rows. This will show the minimum Z score cut-offs for those in previous admissions.
2. For highly competitive programs like Medicine, look at the highest minimum Z scores across all districts. This sets the benchmark nationally.
3. Compare minimum Z scores for your preferred degree courses across multiple university options to understand varying requirements.
4. Use your mock test or past performance to get a rough estimate of the Z score you may achieve in the upcoming 2023 A/Levels.
5. Based on this projection, you can set a target Z score higher than the minimum from last year to increase your admission prospects.
