Who this is for in Sri Lanka
This page is for Sri Lankan students and for Indian families living in Colombo. For both, study in India is a real option when state university places are limited and private degrees at home are expensive.
- Colombo
- Kandy
- Jaffna
- Galle
The decision
Which A/L stream to take after O/L, and whether to study in Sri Lanka or India.
- “If he misses the Z-score for his course, what is the fall-back?”
- “Should she take biology for medicine, or does commerce suit her better?”
- “Is a degree in India recognised and affordable compared with a private degree here?”
School systems, and where the assessment fits
- O/L to A/L
- The stream ranking maps closely onto the A/L stream choice, and shows what each option keeps open and rules out.
- International schools
- Students taking Edexcel or Cambridge A-levels in Colombo can use the ranking to choose subject combinations.
Studying in Sri Lanka, or elsewhere
- State university places are allocated by the University Grants Commission on A/L Z-scores, district by district.
- Private degree providers and foreign-affiliated institutes in Colombo offer an alternative at higher cost.
If India is one of your options
- NEET-UG has had an exam centre in Colombo in recent years, for Sri Lankan and Indian candidates applying to Indian medical colleges.
- Sri Lankan nationals can apply through DASA to NITs and centrally funded institutes, admitted on JEE Main.
- ICCR scholarships and the Study in India portal list funded and self-financed places for Sri Lankan students.

What you get, wherever you study
You do not need to be planning on an Indian college to use this. The assessment looks at you, not at a syllabus or a country: what interests you, how you work, how you reason, and which careers and fields of study fit that. It is open to students of any nationality, and they use it to choose subjects and a direction for study in Sri Lanka or anywhere else.
A Sri Lankan student gets the same profile and career matches as any other reader. The colleges, exams and costs in the report are Indian, which suits a family weighing study in India and does not cover Sri Lankan universities.
Prices when paying from Sri Lanka
The report is charged in Indian rupees. A Sri Lankan card that permits international online payments can pay it; if yours does not, someone in India can open your report link and pay by UPI.

Questions from families in Sri Lanka
- Which assessment should an O/L student take?
- The Class 8–10 assessment: it ranks the streams, which is the decision after O/L. An A/L student choosing a degree should take the Class 11–12 assessment.
- Does the report cover Sri Lankan universities?
- No. It covers careers and Indian colleges and exams. The career matches are still the right starting point for choosing a course in Sri Lanka.
