Sri Lanka’s Cabinet of Ministers has granted approval for local students to enroll in the MBBS medical degree program on a payment basis at General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University (KDU), starting this year.
Admission will also be based on a combination of the G.C.E. Advanced Level (A/L) Z score and other relevant qualifications, said the Department of Government Information.
The proposal to allow local students to pursue the medical degree program at KDU on a payment basis was made by President Ranil Wickremesinghe, in his capacity as the country’s Minister of Defence.
The General Sir John Kotelawala Defense University (KDU) was declared a university by the General Sir John Kotelawala State Defense Training Institute (Amendment) Act No. 27 of 1988.
