SLAT 2026 (Test 1) LIVE Updates: Exam Analysis (OUT), Answer Key PDF, Expected Cutoff & Test 2 Date (Dec 28)

SLAT 2026 Test 1 was conducted on December 20, from 9 to 10 AM. As per the Test 1 analysis, students find the SLAT question paper quite easy compared to the CLAT and AILET exams. Candidates easily managed the time and attempted all the questions without any difficulty.

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.

The distribution of marks and questions are as follows

Candidates should know the topics asked in each subject so as to cover them while preparing for SLAT 2026. The important topics from the syllabus are: 

Refer to the pointers below for effective SLAT Test 2 exam preparation.

• Solve past years' questions because questions can be repeated in the current year's test.
• Create a weekly study plan.
• Understand the SLAT Exam Pattern
• Attend online tutorials and webinars by experts to understand how to score well in the exam.

No, candidates cannot get admission to SLS Pune and the other three SLSs, namely, SLS Noida, SLS Hyderabad, and SLS Nagpur, without appearing in the SLAT exam. 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 the Written Ability Test (WAT) 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 a 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 SLAT results are calculated by following the marking scheme for the exam. Add 1 mark for the correct answer. No mark is deducted for a wrong answer.

No, the SLAT results for all the Symbiosis Laws (SLSs) are not announced separately. These SLSs are SLS Pune, SLS Noida, SLS Nagpur, and SLS Hyderabad. The SLAT results for all SLSs are released at the same time. Here, all candidates must be aware that all SLSs simultaneously announce the SLAT exam results for Tests 1 and Test 2. To allow candidates to check SLAT results for all SLS, Symbiosis International University (SIU) publishes them on the website of the Symbiosis Entrance Test, set-test. Org. The results mention details like the names and roll numbers of candidates, as well as the marks and percentages obtained by them.
