• Minimum marks expected: 45% aggregate for General/OBC candidates, 40% for SC/ST candidates.

The fee is paid online during registration (UPI, net banking, or card) and is non-refundable and non-transferable once submitted, so double-check your programme choices and personal details before you pay.

• Pay the test fee (INR 2,550) plus the applicable per-programme fee for each institute selected.
• Submit and download your confirmation; keep this for every future step of the process.

A useful point to note: SLAT allows candidates to appear for the test on both available dates: 19 and 26 December 2026, and the higher of the two scores is considered for the final merit list, so there's no need to choose only one attempt at the time of registration.

SLAT 2027 Exam Pattern

The SLAT 2027 exam will be conducted as a computer-based test with 60 objective questions across five sections. The test will be of 60 minutes, with each question carrying one mark. There is no negative marking for incorrect answers.

How Many SLAT Attempts Can You Take?

Candidates can appear for up to two SLAT tests. If a candidate takes both tests, the higher score will be considered for the final percentile calculation. There is no normalization between the two attempts.

Taking both attempts can give candidates another opportunity to improve their performance, especially if they want to improve their score or gain more exam-day experience.

SLAT 2027 Participating Law Schools

SLAT scores are accepted by four Symbiosis Law Schools across India. Candidates can apply to the programmes offered by these institutes through the SLAT registration process.

Candidates must select their preferred programme(s) and complete the applicable programme registration fee during the application process.

• Understand the exam pattern and syllabus: Know the sections, question types, and marking scheme before starting your preparation.
