Sri Lanka's Supreme Court has rejected a petition filed by five students seeking to postpone the upcoming G.C.E. Advanced Level Examination scheduled for 2026.

The Supreme Court dismissed a Fundamental Rights petition on Tuesday that sought to delay the 2026 G.C.E. Advanced Level Examination. The court rejected the case without scheduling it for full consideration.

The petition had been filed by five students who are registered to sit the examination, some for the first time and others for repeat attempts. The specific grounds cited by the petitioners for requesting a postponement were not detailed in available reports.
