What is SLAT PI?
The PI or personal interview is conducted online. Candidates have to required to book slots for their SLAT PI online. In this round of the SLAT admission process, questions are asked in order to check candidates’ overall personality, their aim and objective as a future lawyer, and the fundamental concepts and scope of law.
To enrol in a BA LLB course at Symbiosis Law School, Symbiosis International, Nagpur, candidates must meet the eligibility criteria set by the institute. The institute offers full-time BA LLB courses lasting five years. Students are selected based on an entrance exam followed by a PI. In addition to the selection criteria, students must pass Class 12 (common eligibility).
The SLAT merit list for a particular year is a list containing the name, registration number, and roll number of the candidates who achieved marks equal to or higher than the SLAT cut-off for the SLAT entrance exam conducted in the same year. The SLAT cut-off is made up of scores secured by candidates in the SLAT exam, PI and What.

Based on the selection of candidates in the SLAT merit lists for a particular 5-year LL.B. Programme, seats are offered to each candidate. They need to book their respective seats by paying the admission before the due date ascertained by the SLS from whose merit list they get selected.
How to Prepare for SLAT 2026 PI?
Check out the strategies to prepare for PI of the SLAT 2026 exam below:
- Keep it simple - The first stage of all interviews is a candidate’s introduction. Learn to introduce yourself in the easiest possible way. This strategy will help you avoid confusion while giving your introduction and enhance your confidence.
- Know yourself - SLAT PI will assess your personality. Thus, to succeed in this interview, you must know about yourself. Learn about your strengths and weaknesses by thinking about them and writing them down.
- Be Honest and Humble - The exam authority checks your behaviour during the PI. Thus, you need to be humble towards them. Do not lie about anything because lying can make you stuck in the middle of the conversation. You will appear underconfident, confused, and dishonest to them.
How to Overcome Fear of Interaction for SLAT PI
If you find it difficult to speak in front of others or appear in an interview, you are not alone. Many people face this issue and it natural. SLAT PI is also an interview and if you are afraid of appearing in it, then we have specific tips to help you overcome this fear. These tips are mentioned below:
- Try to articulate your thoughts well by engaging in question-and-answer sessions with people older than you. Generally, people do not interact much with those who are older, but doing so will make you feel like you are engaged in a conversation with an authority figure. With practice, you will become more confident and find it easier to interact with the SET authorities during the SLAT PI.
- People often feel anxious about interacting with others because they lack experience in speaking fluently and articulating their thoughts. If you face this issue, here is a simple tip for you: Choose random topics from subject areas related to law, history, or current issues, and open the front camera on your phone. Then, start speaking for at least one minute on the selected topic. In the beginning, you might not be very good at it, but if you continue this exercise for at least 15 days, you will notice an improvement in your speech. Eventually, you will build confidence in speaking in front of the SLAT PI interviewers.

Getting 45 or more marks in SLAT is mostly seen as a good score. It gives you a better chance to get into top Symbiosis Law Schools. If you're aiming for SLS Pune, the most competitive one, try to score around 48–52 marks. A score above 40 is still decent and can keep you in the race. The cutoffs ch

A score of 30 in SLAT 2026 is kind of average, not too high or too low. It depends on the SLAT cut off 2026 for each Symbiosis Law School (SLS). For SLS Pune or Noida, cut off usually goes higher. But for SLS Hyderabad or Nagpur, 30 might still work fine if the SLAT merit list 2026 allows.
