Among these four subjects, it was imperative to include one of the first languages, either Sinhala or Tamil, and Mathematics, all obtained during the GCE (Ordinary Level) examination in a single sitting. Additionally, candidates were required to secure passes in all subjects during the GCE (Advanced Level) examination in one sitting, excluding General Paper and General English.</p><!-- /wp:html --></p><p>[Category: <a href="https://feed.lankaimage.com/category/uncategorized/" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a>]</p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> </p>
