How to Register for the SLAT 2026 exam?

Q:   Which type of questions were asked in the Reading Comprehension section of SLAT 2023?
A:

The SLAT 2023's Reading Comprehension section was the simplest. In the Reading Comprehension section of the SLAT 2023, questions related to articles from newspapers like "The Hindu" and "Times of India" were asked. Candidates were required to apply their knowledge of sentence structure and vocabulary of the English language to solve questions related to the Reading Comprehension section of SLAT 2023. Thus, the knowledge of English Grammar and vocabulary helped them to perform well to solve the section.

 

Q:   What changes have been made to the SLAT exam pattern?
A:

The Symbiosis Law Admission Test Authority has made a change in the weightage of SLAT entrance exam scores in recent years. As per the new pattern, there will be 60 questions for the SLAT question paper from five different sections: Logical Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, Legal Reasoning, Analytical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, and General Knowledge. Each question carries one mark. This means the total marks for SLAT should be 60. However, the entrance test authority scaled down the 60 marks of the SLAT exam to 50. Thus, as per the new exam pattern, the new weightage for the SLAT exam is 50. The rest of the 50 weightage scores for the exam are taken from the SLAT Writing Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interaction (PI). The weightage of SLAT WAT is 20. However, the weightage of PI is 30.

 

Q:   Is there any sectional time limit to attempt questions in SLAT?
A:
No, there is no sectional limit to the number of attempts at questions in the SLAT question paper. Candidates have 60 minutes to attempt 60 multiple choice questions in the SLAT exam. Thus, the average time that can be used by candidates to answer each exam question is 1 minute. It depends on the candidates how they want to manage their time to answer all the questions. Here, SLAT aspirants need to know that there is no negative marking scheme in the SLAT exam.
