How to Find Your O/L Results in Sri Lanka - Step-by-Step Guide

The G.C.E. Ordinary Level (O/L) examination is one of the most important milestones in a Sri Lankan student’s academic journey. The results determine eligibility for A/L studies or vocational training — so it’s no surprise that everyone eagerly waits for the results day!

Typically, the Department of Examinations, Sri Lanka releases the O/L results around late March or early April each year. Students can easily check their results online, via SMS, or through their schools. Here’s a clear, step-by-step guide on how to do it.

🔹 Step 1: Visit the Official Examination Website

The Department of Examinations (DoE) provides an official online portal where students can check their O/L results.

👉 Follow these steps:

1. Go to the official website: www.doenets.lk
2. Click on the “Results” tab on the homepage.
3. Select “G.C.E. (O/L)” from the drop-down menu.
4. Enter your Index Number in the required field.
5. Click “Submit” to view your results instantly.

ඔබේ සාමාන්‍ය පෙළ ප්‍රතිඵල අන්තර්ජාලයෙන් ලබා ගන්නේ මෙහෙමයි

1. www.doenets.lk වෙත පිවිසෙන්න.
2. මුල් පිටුවේ ඇති “Results” බොත්තම මත ක්ලික් කරන්න.
3. Drop-down menu එකෙන් “සා/පෙළ” විභාගය තෝරන්න.
4. ඔබේ Index Number ඇතුළත් කරන්න.
5. “Submit” මත ක්ලික් කර ඔබේ ප්‍රතිඵල බලන්න.

🔹 Step 2: Check Results via SMS

If the website is slow or temporarily unavailable (as it often gets busy on results day), you can also receive your O/L results through SMS.

How to do it:

• Type: EXAMS<space>INDEXNUMBER
• Send it to 7777

📱 Example:

EXAMS 1234567 → Send to 7777

This method works on most mobile networks in Sri Lanka.

🔹 Step 3: Get Results from Your School

If you prefer, you can also collect your official result sheet directly from your school. Schools usually receive printed copies from the Department of Examinations shortly after the online release.

• Contact your school to confirm collection times.
• Bring your Student ID or Admission Card when visiting.

🔹 Step 4: Verify and Understand Your Results

Once you get your results:

• Double-check accuracy: Verify your name, index number, and grades.
• Understand the grading system: Familiarize yourself with the O/L grading scale (A, B, C, S, and W).
• Seek guidance: If you’re unsure about next steps (A/L streams, vocational training, or re-sitting exams), speak with your teachers or academic counselors.

🔹 Step 5: If You Can’t Access Your Results Online

Sometimes, due to heavy traffic, the DoE website may not load properly. If this happens:

• Try again later during off-peak hours.
• Clear your browser cache or use a different device.
• Use the SMS method as an alternative.
• Or, visit your school or Zonal Education Office to check manually.

📝 Important Note

While online results are generally accurate, always confirm your grades through your school or official printed certificate issued by the Department of Examinations. This ensures there are no errors or discrepancies.

🎯 In Summary

Checking your O/L exam results in Sri Lanka is now faster and easier than ever before. Whether you use the official website, SMS service, or get them through your school, make sure you follow official channels to avoid scams or false result links.

💡 Quick Tips:

• Use only www.doenets.lk
• Avoid third-party or unofficial result links
• Save a screenshot or printout for your records

🎓 Final Thoughts

Getting your O/L results is a big step forward in your educational journey. Stay calm, check your results carefully, and plan your next move wisely — whether it’s continuing with A/L studies, enrolling in a diploma program, or exploring vocational training opportunities.
