Students must offer six subjects, of which three subjects could be of their own choice selected from courses available in school. The other three subjects are General English, General Knowledge paper and General Information Technology (GIT) which are compulsory

Yes usually it is compulsory. Anyway having an A grade for your General English paper will make you get the better grades at university academics or other vocational prospects. Usually 3 subjects + GIT and General English. If you need a general English class on Google meet or zoom you can contact me. I am a previous university English teacher. 0767978983

If you wish to enter the government universities it is compulsory that you pass the General English paper but the GIT paper is optional and preferred as a good option to help you know the basics of IT as you will have to use those technology skills during your course of degree. You need to pass 3 main subjects apart from General English to enter the university.
Please refer to the government website and guidelines for more information related to the new syllabus for A/levels.
This case may be different if you have plans to study in a private university both local or foreign. Refer to their websites for more information.

Dear Shahama,
Firstly, Do you have any particular stream in which you want to continue your studies?
Whatever stream you take you can take GIT and General English.
General English is optional but best if you take it along with Common General Test, if you're looking forward for Campus selection.
There is no restrictions on how many subjects you must do.

3 compulsory subjects under science, maths, arts, technology etc. and 2 non-compulsory subjects as General English and GIT. Anyway, these two non-compulsory subjects are very helpful for your life in many ways! If you do not study these two subjects you are like a vehicle without tyres. If you you want to move forward in your life you need GIT and General English!

Dear Shahama,
The 3 main subjects in any stream is compulsory. GIT will be an added qualification, also General English will be useful for your future progress in any field. Concentrate on all 5 subjects.
Best regards.

Dear receivers,

1. As you requested to explain to you question in the above - GIT and English are not compulsory to enter university for main courses like (engineering, medicine, management, Arts degree) until you are eligible and having good rank / z-score under your selected A/L stream.
On the other hand,
Yes - English is necessary to enter university for special / choice courses when you want to apply.
Eg: Town & Country planning (University of Moratuwa which is required B pass in O/L English and S pass in A/L English subject)

2. And the answer for your second question is - whatever the Subject/stream you select in your A/L (maths or Bio science or commerce or Arts or Eng/Bio technology) under which all the main three subject will need to be completed/passed to acquire eligibility for entering university.

All I mentioned above to have a vision for Government universities in Sri Lanka and which demonstrated excluding the private university/ Campus.

Thanks & Regards
KJ
BSc (Hons) T&CP (University of Moratuwa)
