Aspiring legal professionals are encouraged to complete their application and take the first step toward a premier legal education. The test dates are December 20, 2025 (Saturday) and December 28, 2025 (Sunday). Conducted by Symbiosis International (Deemed University), SLAT is the gateway to premier undergraduate law programmes at Symbiosis Law Schools located in Pune, Noida, Hyderabad, and Nagpur. Importantly, SLAT allows candidates to attempt the test twice, with the best score being considered for evaluation.

SLAT 2026 will be conducted in 68 cities across India and is designed to comprehensively assess a candidate's aptitude for legal studies. The exam follows a Computer-Based Test (CBT) format, with a total of 60 questions to be answered in 60 minutes. The test is conducted annually only in December. It includes five key sections: Logical Reasoning, Legal Reasoning, Analytical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, and General Knowledge. Each section has 12 questions. Notably, there is no negative marking in SLAT 2026, which differentiates it from other law entrance tests. SLAT 2026 Registration and Payment Closes on November 30, 2025 (Sunday). The test serves as the entry point to highly regarded integrated law programmes: B.A. LL.B. (Hons.), B.B.A. LL.B. (Hons.), B.A. LL.B., B.B.A. LL.B., and B.Com LL.B. (Hons.), which is a newly launched course under SLS Pune.

Candidates should also note that payment of only the SLAT entrance test registration fee will not make you eligible for shortlisting in any programme, regardless of your SLAT score. Both fees must be paid as per the instructions provided on the registration portal. Failure to pay the programme registration fee will result in your application not being considered for that programme. No communication will be entertained in this regard.
