SLAT Eligibility

Yes, candidates from various academic backgrounds are typically eligible to apply for SLAT (Symbiosis Law Admission Test). SLAT is designed to be inclusive and open to candidates from diverse educational backgrounds. While specific academic eligibility criteria may vary from year to year, the fundamental requirement is typically the successful completion of the 10+2 examination (or its equivalent) with English as a compulsory subject.
