SLAT 2026 Exam analysis has been provided below. Read further to know what candidates have to say about the SLAT 2026 Exam, including the difficulty level, tricky questions, expected cutoff, subject-wise topics, and more.

Q:   Do I need to cover the entire syllabus for SLAT preparation?
A:

The Symbiosis Law Admission Test authority does not provide subtle details about the SLAT syllabus. Thus, the syllabus for SLAT cannot be specified accurately. The exam authority only shares the details associated with the sections related to the SLAT question paper, which are Analytical Reasoning, Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, General English, and General Knowledge. Thus, candidates only study to prepare for relevant sections along with mathematics (of level up to Class 10) and current affairs to prepare for SLAT.

 

Q:   When should I start preparing for SLAT?
A:

There is no maximum time limit to start preparation. Candidates can start preparing for the SLAT exam any time when they decide to sit for it. You can refer to previous year papers for the exam overview.

Q:   Is one month sufficient for solving SLAT practise sets?
A:

The number of SLAT practise sets depends on the number of practise sets an aspirant solves. If you want to solve fewer practise sets, then one month is enough to practise them. However, if you want to solve 30–40 practise sets of SLAT, then you need 2-3 months to do so. This much time will allow you to solve one practise set multiple times. As a result, you will learn about almost all the important concepts and topics from which questions are asked in the SLAT exam. Aspirants preparing for the SLAT also need to know the SLAT syllabus and practise topics related to it to score well in the entrance exam.

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.

No, there is no extra fee for SLS slot booking. Once you pay the SLAT 2026 application fee, the slot booking part is free. You only need to log in on the official website and choose your date and time for the PI round. The system confirms it without asking for any more payment.

No, SLAT 2026 gives you only one attempt in a year. You can't take the test twice in the same admission cycle. The score from that single attempt is used for admission to all Symbiosis Law Schools. If you want to try again, you can apply next year when the new SLAT exam opens.

No, once your SLS slot booking is confirmed, you can't change it again. The SLAT 2026 slot booking system locks your choice right after you submit. So you must check the date and time carefully before confirming. If there's any serious issue, you can contact the SIU helpdesk for support.
