SLAT 2027 registration is open for admission to five-year law courses at Symbiosis Law Schools in Pune, Noida, Hyderabad and Nagpur. Students can register and pay the entrance test fee by December 4, 2026. Symbiosis International (Deemed University) will hold the two tests on December 19 and 26, 2026.

Applicants must also select their law programmes and pay a separate programme registration fee. Paying only for the entrance test will not make a student eligible for programme shortlisting, regardless of the SLAT score.

SLAT 2027 dates

Test timings will appear on the admit card. Students may take one or both tests. If they take both, the higher score will count towards their final percentile. The score is valid for admission in the 2027-28 academic year only.

SLAT 2027 eligibility and courses

The minimum qualification is Class 12 or an equivalent examination from a recognised board, with at least 45% marks or an equivalent grade. The minimum is 40% for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe applicants.

The 2027 eligibility rules do not explain the conditions for students awaiting Class 12 results. These students should confirm with their chosen law school whether they can apply before paying.

Foreign nationals, OCI and PIO applicants apply through the Symbiosis Centre for International Education; they are exempt from SLAT. NRI applicants applying under the international category are also not required to take the entrance test.

SLAT 2027 application fees

These registration fees are non-refundable and cannot be transferred. They do not cover course tuition. Each programme has its own closing date for programme payment, which may fall after the SLAT test payment deadline. Students must pay for every programme for which they want to be considered.

Payment options include cards, UPI, net banking and demand draft. A demand draft must reach the Symbiosis Test Secretariat by 3 pm on December 4, 2026. Late drafts will be returned, and the admit card is available only after the payment clears. Follow the official registration instructions for the payee, payment advice form and postal address.

SLAT exam pattern and selection

The computer-based test lasts 60 minutes and has 60 questions worth 60 marks. Logical Reasoning, Legal Reasoning, Analytical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension and General Knowledge have 12 questions each. All sections are compulsory, and there is no negative marking. Eligible PwD candidates receive 20 minutes of extra time per hour.

Each law school sets its programme-wise shortlisting cutoff and Personal Interaction (PI) schedule. Students shortlisted for more than one programme must attend the PI separately for each programme and complete all its required parts.

Under the announced selection pattern, the SLAT score out of 60 is scaled to 70 marks, while PI carries 30 marks. Institutes will publish their merit lists and further admission dates on their websites. The university may revise the schedule or selection pattern.
