“If there are amendments with respect to the subjects applied, language medium or any other error in the admission cards received by the principals, the respective principals should perfect the forms sent for this purpose and get them processed through the nominated teachers in charge of school examinations by visiting the School Examination Organisation and Results Branch in the Examinations Department. In case of such amendments for private candidates, they are requested to inform those same designated officers at the Examinations Department in person,” said the Examinations Commissioner-General.
