SLIIT will host an Open Day in September to showcase the endless possibilities for prospective students as they prepare and explore exciting future career pathways.
The Open Day is an annual calendar event of SLIIT. This year it is scheduled on 7 September from 9 a.m. onwards at the SLIIT premises in Malabe and presents an ideal opportunity for prospective students to meet faculty and tour the Institute’s facilities.
Open Day will also be held at the Institute’s metro campus in Kollupitiya and established centres located in Matara, Kandy, Jaffna and Kurunegala.
Potential students are invited to visit SLIIT together with their family and friends and gain insights into the degrees and programs offered, speak to lectures and current students and experience campus activities. The open day will also set the platform for the main intake which will take place in September 2019.

Students can also inquire about the Institute’s international programs and transfer options and receive the relevant information.
