The University Grants Commission (UGC) has decided to give a second opportunity for the students who sat for the 2020 G.C.E. Advanced Level Examination but could not apply for the university admission in time. Speaking further on the matter, the UGC Chairman Prof. Sampath Amaratunge said, “Accepting applications for university admission of students who took the 2020 Advanced Level Examination ended on the 18th of June. However, at the time, the University Grants Commission assured that students who could not submit their applications online due to the pandemic situations prevalent in the country will be given another opportunity. Accordingly, in keeping with its promise, the UGC has announced a grace period to send in university entrance applications from July 26 to July 30, he added.
