Evaluation of a student's performance will be made throughout the course and a final examination will be held at the end of the course. A certificate will be awarded only on the successful completion (essential to pass in all subjects) of each course. Any student gaining a total less than the pass mark for a particular subject as the final score, will have to successfully complete that subject at a time that exam is next scheduled (e.g. if the subject includes assessments, they need be attended to; however, in such subject/s if one obtains 40% as the final score even from the final exam, then s/he is considered to have passed that subject) in order to receive the certificate for that course. Any student who has obtained the required aggregate or more but has scored less than pass marks for any subject (which subject/s will be marked as ‘WEAK’) would be considered referred in the particular subject/s. In such an instance, at the request of the student, a detail letter (indicating subjects, grading etc) will be issued from the Registrars Office if the student so desires. Such students may re-sit the referred subject/s at a later examination to qualify for the certificate.

Re-sitting

It is mandatory that re-sitting takes place within a period of two (02) years after the release date of such results and only one attempt is permitted; all re-sitting subjects must be completed at one sitting. It is the responsibility of the student to communicate in writing with the Registrar SLITHM as regards this matter latest by before the lapse of two (02) weeks after the commencement of the relevant course . At the time of re-sitting if the particular subject is not offered, the responsibility in setting up such a question paper will be at the discretion of the SLITHM; the student will also receive exemptions from any new subjects offered. Students who fail to attend an assessment / final examination will receive the next opportunity only at the time the same assessment / exam in that particular course is held next. In such an instance, if a student so desires to re-sit, a written request to this effect must be forwarded to the Registrar at least two (02) weeks after the commencement of the new course. In the event of a successful re-sitting, irrespective of the new aggregate, the student will be considered to have gained only a ‘Pass’ in the final grading.

Re-correction

Any student is eligible to apply for re-correction of any paper. A written request to this effect must be addressed to the Registrar SLITHM, Colombo within a period of one (01) month of the release of such results.

Exemptions on Subjects

On a written request made to the Registrar, an exemption to a particular subject may be considered to be granted for those who have successfully completed a full time course at the SLITHM. Approval for same has to be sought within two (02) weeks of the commencement of lessons on that subject.
