Government Jobs Sri Lanka — Gazette Vacancies 2026

Unlike India's consolidated portals, Sri Lankan candidates must locate the correct gazette issue number, verify qualifications in the official PDF, and submit applications to the address stated in the notice.
Latest issue 2406/06 (Friday 6 June 2026) — 6 notices, 673 posts. Verify every requirement in the official gazette PDF.

How to read this gazette issue
Each notice below is a summary of the legal extract in Gazette Extraordinary or regular Friday issue 2406/06. Salary codes (SL-1, SL-2, SL-3), age relaxations, and medium of examination are defined only in the official PDF — not in secondary trackers.
Competitors such as governmentjobs.lk publish ref numbers, Sinhala notices, and closing dates. We mirror that structure with English summaries and deep links to each vacancy.
Official PDF — three languages
- Sinhala edition — primary legal text for most recruitment notices
- Tamil edition — same legal effect; use if you apply in Tamil medium
- English edition — preferred for diaspora and professional service posts
- Download only from documents.gov.lk — avoid unofficial mirrors for eligibility disputes
