SLAT 2027 Age Limit

  • There is no upper age limit for candidates appearing in SLAT 2027.
  • Candidates of any age can apply, as long as they meet the academic eligibility criteria.

SLAT 2027 Selection Process & Merit Calculation

SLAT eligibility isn't based on the entrance score alone; final admission depends on a combined merit calculation:

  • Candidates are shortlisted for the Personal Interaction (PI) round based on their SLAT score.
  • The cut-off for shortlisting is calculated separately for each programme and institute.
  • Based on the overall SLAT percentile, a candidate may get shortlisted for more than one programme; in such cases, they must participate in the PI for each programme separately.
  • It is mandatory to attend all components of the PI to remain eligible for the merit list. Candidates absent from any one component will be considered ineligible.
  • Final Merit Score: SLAT score (scaled to 70) + PI (30) = 100 marks.
  • Category-wise cut-offs for the merit list and wait list are displayed separately on each participating institute's website.
