After that, you need to login with the password as mentioned on the IBPS PO admit card. Before beginning with the test, you should read the instructions catefully. You are also supposed to write the handwriting sample. All the questions comprises multiple choices. Out of the five answers, only one is the correct answer. You have to select the most appropriate answer and ‘mouse click’ that alternative which you feel is appropriate/correct. The alternative/ option that you have clicked on will be treated as your answer to that question. There will be penalty for wrong answers marked by you.

The SET exam authority recommends candidates reach the SLAT exam centre at least one hour before the commencement of the exam. Thus, SLAT exam starts at 9 AM. Thus, candidates need to reach the exam centre by 8 AM on the day of the examination. Keeping a gap of one hour between the time of reporting to the exam centre and the start of the exam will allow candidates to comply with the exam day formalities. These formalities include a security check, receiving the seat number, and occupying the right seat on exam day. Moreover, candidates can also visit the location of the exam centre one day before the commencement of the exam to analyse the distance of the location from the place they stay and the time required to reach there.

You can find the address of your SLAT exam centre on your SLAT admit card. The Symbiosis Entrance Test (SET) Authority tries to allot the test centre to a candidate according to his or her first preference for the test city. However, there is no assurance that the test authority will always provide candidates with the centre as per their preference. When there is high demand for a particular test centre, candidates will receive the test centres as per the second or third city preferred by them. All SLAT aspirants need to know that the exam authority does not change a test centre once it is allotted to a candidate. Thus, there is no need to worry about the fact that their test centre will be changed at the last moment.
