Symbiosis International (Deemed University) has opened registrations for the Symbiosis Law Admission Test (SLAT) 2027, the entrance examination used for admission to undergraduate law programmes offered by its participating law schools.
SLAT 2027 will be conducted on December 19 and December 26, 2026. Candidates can submit their applications until December 4, 2026.
The entrance examination provides admission opportunities at Symbiosis law schools located in Pune, Noida, Hyderabad and Nagpur.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Registration | Open |
| Last Date to Register | December 4, 2026 |
| SLAT Test 1 | December 19, 2026 |
| SLAT Test 2 | December 26, 2026 |
Candidates planning to apply should complete both registration and fee payment before the December 4 deadline.
The SLAT 2027 registration fee is ₹2,550 per test, excluding applicable government taxes.
Candidates must also pay an additional ₹1,000 per programme as the programme/institute selection fee.
| Fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| SLAT Registration Fee | ₹2,550 per test |
| Programme Selection Fee | ₹1,000 per programme |
| Government Taxes | Additional, where applicable |
Students should note that paying the SLAT examination fee alone does not complete their application to individual law programmes.
Candidates must have passed Class 12 or an equivalent examination from a recognised board.
The minimum marks required are:
Candidates should also check programme-specific admission requirements before completing their application.
The entrance examination will contain 60 questions to be completed in 60 minutes.
Importantly, there is no negative marking in SLAT 2027.
The paper will cover five areas:
The test will be conducted at 62 designated examination centres across India in computer-based test mode.
SLAT 2027 provides candidates with the option to appear for the entrance examination twice.
Students can take the test on both December 19 and December 26. If they appear in both sessions, the higher score will be considered for the admission process.
This can benefit students who want a second opportunity to improve their performance.
However, candidates should remember that the registration fee is charged per test, so appearing twice will increase the total application cost.
SLAT scores will be used for admission to eligible undergraduate law programmes including:
The programmes available can differ between individual Symbiosis law schools, so candidates should check their preferred institute before paying programme-selection fees.
SLAT provides admission to undergraduate programmes offered through Symbiosis law schools in:
Pune → Noida → Hyderabad → Nagpur
Students should compare the individual campuses based on programme availability, fees, location, curriculum, internships and career opportunities rather than assuming every campus offers identical options.
Candidates can complete the application process through the official SLAT portal.
The general process includes:
After successful registration, candidates will receive their SLAT ID and password through email and SMS.
Symbiosis has advised applicants to ensure that the information provided during registration is accurate and authentic.
If incorrect information is discovered, the university reserves the right to cancel the candidate's application or candidature.
Students should therefore carefully check:
before completing the application.
Students targeting law programmes should understand that SLAT and CLAT are separate entrance examinations.
SLAT is specifically used for eligible undergraduate law programmes at participating Symbiosis law schools.
CLAT, meanwhile, is primarily used for admission to participating National Law Universities and other institutions that accept CLAT scores.
Students targeting both sets of colleges may therefore need to appear for both examinations.
Students interested in Symbiosis law programmes should first identify which campus and programme they want to target.
Next, check Class 12 eligibility and decide whether appearing for one or both SLAT attempts makes sense based on preparation level and budget.
Since programme-selection fees are charged separately, applicants should shortlist institutes before completing payment instead of selecting programmes without researching them.
