The four law schools of Symbiosis International University do not accept any other law entrance exams for admission to BA LLB, BA LLB (Hons. ), BBA LLB, and BBA LLB (Hons. ). Thus, to get admission to undergraduate law courses offered by SLSs, candidates will have to appear in the SLAT exam, which is followed by Written Ability Test (What) and Personal Interview (PI). Admissions to SLSs are based on the collective scores of SLAT, What, and PI. Candidates need to know that there will not be provision for the rechecking of the results of SLAT 2023. The option of raising objections against SLAT answer keys is not available because the SET exam authority does not release answer keys for the exam.

The Symbiosis Internation Law University has discontinued Writing Ability Test from the SLAT Admission Process.
