B.Sc. Special Honours
Grades and Requirements
Cumulative Grade Point Average is computed by dividing the
sum of the products of the number of credits of all the courses
followed and the grade points earned for those courses by a
student by the total number of credits of the courses followed
up to that point of time by that student.
GPA Requirements for the Award of Degrees
Every student should maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or
above subject to no more than one D level score per semester in
the first year only, for the award of the diplomas or the degrees.
Students will be awarded academic honours at degree level as
follows:
CGPA 3.50 - First Class Honours
3.25 < CGPA < 3.50 - Second Class Honours Upper Division
3.0 < CGPA < 3.25 - Second Class Honours Lower Division
2.0 < CGPA < 3.0 - Pass
Medium of Instruction
The medium of instruction of all degree and
diploma programmes is English.
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
<
Grade Point Average (GPA) per semester
GPA is computed by dividing the sum of the products of the
number of credits of each course followed and the grade points
earned for that course by a student by the total number of
credits of the courses followed during the semester by that
student.
For example, if a student has followed 5 courses of 4 credits
each and has scored grade points of 4.0, 3.0, 2.3, 2.0 and 1.7
respectively, his GPA is computed as (4x4.0 + 4x3.0+ 4x2.3 +
4x2.0 + 4x1.7) / (4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4) = 2.6
Regular attendance in classes is expected
from all students. In any case 80%
attendance is necessary as a requirement to
sit examinations.
Inability to attend classes and / or

SLIIT Research facilities
Research and Development Facilities
As a leading tertiary educational institute in Sri Lanka,
research is an integral part of SLIIT. We strive for a vibrant
research culture and numerous initiatives are in place for
promoting research among the academic and student
communities. Integrating research methodology to
undergraduate and postgraduate curricula, establishing a
research centre to carry out research work, the SLIIT research
grant scheme are all meant to promote research.
Research methodology is a compulsory module for all
postgraduate and undergraduate programs at SLIIT. This
aims to inculcate skills to acquire new knowledge which is
of paramount importance in the field of Information
Technology where the body of knowledge grows
exponentially. All students complete a comprehensive
research project under the guidance of SLIIT staff members.
Generally undergraduate students work in groups to fulfill
this compulsory requirement while masters students take up
individual projects.
The SLIIT Research Centre, overseen by a committee of senior
academics/researchers, provides facilities to carryout staff
and student research. It brings together researchers of various
disciplines related to IT and its applications from SLIIT and
outside. The annual SLIIT Research Symposium normally
held in December is the showcase of research activities, not
only confined to SLIIT but open to other researchers of the
region as well. The five best research projects from both
undergraduate and postgraduate categories are presented at
this symposium. The SLIIT Research Symposium is open to
any institution actively involved in research in IT and allied
disciplines.
As for research by academics the latest initiative is providing a
substantial research grant scheme. All academics are clustered
into a research team headed by a senior researcher. The senior
researchers as the principle investigators are eligible for the
SLIIT annual research grants. These grants can be freely
utilized for research related purposes such as accessing useful
research resources (e.g. on-line journals) and participation in
conferences. Last year, SLIIT academic teams published four
journal papers and, 16 conference papers in international
conferences.

SLIIT ALUMNI Success Stories
It was a wonderful and a memorable experience to study at SLIIT.
From the beginning to the end of my Bachelor's Degree studies, SLIIT
has guided and equipped me with invaluable experience and knowledge
to deal with the future challenges of the emerging IT industry.
I completed my Curtin Degree at SLIIT. SLIIT helped me to develop my
professional abilities and attitudes which I needed to be a successful IT
Professional. At SLIIT classes were conducted by highly competent
lecturers and they assisted me in numerous ways during my studies.
The library at SLIIT provided me with a comprehensive range
of books and study materials, which was an immense help during my exams.
It is indeed a privilege to have been a part of SLIIT family.
N. D. L. Hewage, Dip IT (SLIIT)
IT Incident Management Controller
HBOS, Australia
Bcom IT (Curtin), MCP, MCDST
After completing my Advanced Level at school, I was passionate to study Information
Technology. Besides, IT profession encompasses many aspects of Computing and Technology;
it has a wide scope of career opportunities. Therefore, I enrolled at SLIIT as an undergraduate
student in Information Technology. I knew that this path would eventually lead me to a promising
career and open doors to many opportunities such as studying in Australia. I chose to complete
my final year at Curtin University in Perth, Australia, which gave me the opportunity to divert
my studies in to more interesting and demanding areas of Information Technology. In 2004, I
graduated with a Bachelor degree in Information Technology and Systems earning a double
major from Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Australia.
Currently I am working in Western Australia as an IT Incident Management Controller for the
Bank of Western Australia. (An entity of HBOSA, one of the world's largest financial services
organisation) Here I am reaching my career goals and advancing my career opportunities
by being appointed as one of the HBOSA IT Value Monthly Winners. I was nominated for high
performance in leadership, courage and integrity. I believe that I managed to achieve all these
as a result of education and skills I gained at SLIIT. Therefore I’d like to express my sincere
gratitude t o SLIIT, the foundation of my successes.
I stepped on to the new millennium with a heap of expectations. With the ambition
of fulfilling these expectations, I joined the Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology.
Today, as I look back on those four years, I do not regret my decision since SLIIT
has given me the perfect background to broaden my knowledge through proper
guidance and by getting exposure to the latest technologies. With several degree
programs on offer, SLIIT caters to the demands of IT professionals with a positive
attitude and a success oriented approach.
Last but not least it is a great pleasure to express my sincere gratitude to all the
lecturers and the staff members who guided us along on our journey towards success.
