The Sri Lankan Government annually conducts an open competitive examination to recruit Management Service Officers. Securing a position in the Sri Lankan Government service requires proper guidance and training, as applicants must demonstrate strong language proficiency and Intelligence Quotient (IQ) skills during the rigorous examination.
Sri Lankan Majlis Qatar (SLMQ) proudly sponsored a specialized Seminar for the Competitive Examination to Recruit Management Service Officers, held on September 14, 2025. SLMQ supported this initiative to train and guide applicants across the island, helping them to enhance the knowledge and IQ skills required for the competitive exams.
The seminar was specifically designed to fully cover all aspects including the IQ component of the examination, providing participants with essential knowledge, effective techniques, and crucial preparation strategies.
The session was conducted by Mr. Afrose Ahamed, the resource person for this important program. Mr. Ahamed is a highly qualified officer, holding positions in both the Sri Lanka Administrative Service (SLAS) and the Sri Lanka Education Administrative Service (SLEAS) from the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka.
The seminar successfully attracted over 120 Tamil-medium applicants from across the island. This strong turnout reflects the high interest among minority students and job seekers in successfully entering the state service. The event was efficiently managed and coordinated by the Naviguys Team in Puttalam.
This initiative is expected to significantly benefit young graduates, and job seekers by equipping them with the confidence and skills needed to compete effectively. Ultimately, the program aims to increase minority representation and diversity within the state service, contributing to a more inclusive government workforce
This successful educational program would not have been possible without the extraordinary support and dedication of our community. SLMQ extends its deepest gratitude to all its members for their generous annual contributions and to the external sponsors whose assistance was invaluable. This financial backing is critical, as it directly enables vital initiatives like this. By investing in education and upskilling, we are actively working to empower communities, increase competitive ability, and foster greater representation within the state service.
