After class 12, students need to choose a field of study. In every entrance exam, aptitude tests for different subjects are conducted to assess the student’s knowledge about the specific course/ subject.
In the field of law, different entrance exams are conducted by different colleges. One that is most preferred is the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT). CLAT is a national-level entrance exam for admission in various National Law Universities (NLUs) across the country. Similarly, Symbiosis Law Admission Test (SLAT) is conducted by the Symbiosis International (Deemed) Universities for admission in their five-year integrated law courses.

SLAT is much easier exam than CLAT. However, the syllabus of both exams is the same. There is no negative marking in SLAT.
To prepare for the entrance exam, complete the syllabus at least two weeks before the exam to get some time for revision. Prepare shot notes of each topic from day one as this would help in revising the topics before the exam. Follow the pattern of studying one subject in a day as it would be impossible to complete a subject at the last moment. Try to revise the short notes regularly to get a good grip on the subject.
To prepare from home, every topic and sub-topics are available on YouTube by different teachers and coaching classes. The students could refer to these online videos and understand the topics well. Practise previous year question papers and mock tests regularly as this would help in managing time. One of the best reference books to prepare for the law entrance exam is Universal Law Publication. This book has all the topics covered with mock papers and last year’s questions on each topic from all the exams conducted across the country
The difficulty level of the SLAT Reading Comprehension section is easy to moderate. If we look at the previous years’ question papers of the SLAT exam, it has been noticed that most questions in the section were asked to assess the understanding of candidates about the English language. These questions are based on articles from different newspapers. Candidates require knowledge of English Grammar and vocabulary. Thus, to solve the Reading Comprehension section, they need to have excellent knowledge of English Grammar and vocabulary.
