What Candidates Should Do Now
- Check your admission card. The Department issues admission cards for these institutional exams; look under “Exam Admission Cards” on doenets.lk and read the Department’s notice on issuing admission cards.
- Confirm your centre and time on the card. Colombo exams are held at Colombo centres only.
- Prepare your ID. Take your NIC or another identity document accepted by the Department.
- Watch for amendments. The October 2026 calendar was amended after release, so recheck the November calendar the week before your exam.
BrightNook Tips
- Inland Revenue Grade III (15 Nov) and Irrigation Engineering Assistants (7 Nov) are open competitive exams, so these are the ones most applicants from outside the public service will be sitting.
- Daham Pasal and Dharmacharya candidates sit over two or three days; note every date, not just the first.
- For past exams of this type, see our guide to the State Audit Officer exam.
- Not sure if results are out for an earlier exam? Use the official results portal at results.exams.gov.lk.
