Advanced level exam tomorrow as usual: no question paper leak, says Commissioner General of Examinations

The question papers of the 2026 General Certificate of Education (Advanced Level) examination currently being held did not leak in any manner, and tomorrow's (14) examination will be held as planned as usual, Commissioner General of Examinations Indika Kumari states.

During the inspection of question paper containers relevant to the Business Studies, Music, Dance, and Agricultural Science subjects which were scheduled to be held today (13).
An incident was reported at the coordinating centre bearing number 323 located at Ambalantota Maha Vidyalaya in the Hambantota District, where six packets of the 'Physics I' question paper scheduled to be held tomorrow (14) were found placed differently in question paper containers that arrived to be distributed to six centres.
