Grade 6 school cut-off marks for 2026 entry, by school and medium

A cut-off mark printed by the Ministry of Education for a named school and medium, on a list published after the scholarship results. It is a different number from the district cut-off that the Department of Examinations sets for each district and medium. We have not found a Ministry description of how each school's mark is set, so this page does not explain it.

No date has been announced, as far as the news reports we found show (checked 12 October 2026; the Ministry's own website could not be opened from our server). The last three lists came 78, 50 and 79 days after the scholarship results. Counting the same 50 to 79 days from the 2 September 2026 results gives 22 October to 20 November 2026. That is arithmetic on earlier years, not an announcement, and the 2027 entry process starts with applications through principals, so the order of events may differ.

No. The table holds the list for 2026 entry, from the 2025 examination, published on 21 November 2025. The list for 2027 entry, from the 2026 examination, has not been published. The Cycle column on every row says which list it comes from.

On 3 September 2026 the Ministry said applications will be submitted online through school principals, with dates and instructions to follow. Parents are told to wait for those instructions. In earlier cycles parents or guardians submitted the appeals; nothing has been announced about who will appeal for 2027 entry.

On the Ministry's G6 admission system at g6application.moe.gov.lk. It was named for the placement check when the 2026 entry list came out, and it also takes appeals.

No. The Ministry runs appeal rounds for children who qualified but were not allocated a school, which would not be needed if qualifying guaranteed a place.

Online only, with up to three schools named; the reports of earlier rounds say the parent or guardian submits it. The rounds have opened on different dates each cycle: 9 to 30 April 2025 and 3 to 17 July 2025 (one outlet) for 2025 entry, and January 2026 (closing 25 January) and 8 to 29 May 2026 for 2026 entry. Believe only the Ministry's own notices for the dates of the next round.

Not in the copy of the Ministry's list we could read, which has only a Sinhala-medium section and a Tamil-medium section, each divided into boys', girls' and mixed schools. We have not found a Ministry statement on whether another list exists.

We do not know. The copy of the Ministry's list we could read does not call its schools national schools and does not say it covers every school that admits Grade 6 children, so this page calls it the 302 schools on the list and claims nothing more.

The rows were read from a third-party website's table (induwara.lk), not typed from the Ministry's document. On 12 October 2026 the cut-off marks in each of the scan's six sub-lists were compared, in order, with the table and matched; school names and places were checked against the scan for only a handful of schools. So not every row has been individually checked against the Ministry's document, and nobody at the Ministry has verified the table. If a row differs from the Ministry's document, tell us and we will correct it.

According to Newswire (31 March 2026), no: the circulars approved that day for admissions from Grade 2 to Grade 11 exclude Grades 5 and 6. We have not read the circulars themselves.
