No, it is mandatory to clear the SLAT Exam to be eligible to appear in the counselling process. Candidates will be allocated a seat based on the college they choose during the counselling, and hence, without clearing the exam, it is not allowed.

SLAT preparation is easy. Create a proper schedule to prepare for the exam on a daily basis. Allot more time to practicing and studying law topics. It takes 6 to 8 hours of revision if you make a section-wise plan. This entrance is comparatively easy to other top law entrances.
