Sri Lanka Army captures Sampur". Bloomberg. 4 September 2006. Archived from the original on 30 September 2007. During the 1970s [65] the Policy of standardization was initiated. Under the policy, students were admitted to university in proportion to the number of applicants who sat for the examination in their language. Officially the policy was designed to increase the representation of students from rural areas. In practice the policy reduced the numbers of Sri Lankan Tamil students who had previously, based on their examination scores alone, gained admission in a higher proportion than their participation in the examination. They were now required to gain higher marks than Sinhalese students to gain admission to universities. [62] [66] For instance, the qualifying mark for admission to the medical faculties was 250 out of 400 for Tamil students, but only 229 for Sinhalese. [67] The number of Sri Lankan Tamil students entering universities fell dramatically. The policy was abandoned in 1977.
