Z-score cut-offs, 2025/26

State universities admit on the A-level Z-score, which places a candidate against everyone who sat the same subjects that year. Each course has a cut-off for every one of Sri Lanka's 25 districts, because places are shared out between districts — so the same course can need a very different score in Colombo and in a rural district. Shown: the lowest and highest district cut-off, and Colombo's. Z-scores compare courses within a year and a subject stream, not across them.
