She confirmed that all necessary arrangements have been finalised for the smooth conduct of the exams, which will take place at 2,362 centres across the country. This year’s examination will see a total of 340,525 students sitting—comprising 246,521 school candidates and 94,004 private applicants.
The Commissioner also reminded the public that all promotional and preparatory activities connected to the examination, such as tuition classes, seminars, mock paper discussions, and workshops, will be strictly prohibited from midnight tomorrow (04).

Offering guidance to students, Liyanage encouraged them to remain calm and confident as they enter the final stage of preparation. “There are no changes to the structure of this year’s question papers,” she said. “I urge candidates to follow the exam timetable carefully, read each question thoroughly, and manage their time effectively.”
