As SLAT 2026 registration continues, applicants are reminded to upload a passport-size photo

The registration window for the Symbiosis Law Admission Test (SLAT) 2026, the mandatory entrance exam for admission to the prestigious Symbiosis Law Schools (SLS) in Pune, Noida, Hyderabad, and Nagpur, is open until November 30, 2025. Aspirants must complete the two-part registration—the SLAT test fee and the mandatory programme registration fee—by this non-extendable deadline. With two attempts available (December 20 & 28, 2025), securing your application now is the first strategic step toward a top B.A.LL.B. or B.B.A.LL.B. seat. Visit the official SLAT website to finalize your application immediately.

The application process for the highly competitive Symbiosis Law Admission Test (SLAT) 2026 is in its final weeks. SLAT is the mandatory entrance exam for admission to the integrated five-year undergraduate law programmes (B.A.LL.B. and B.B.A.LL.B.) offered by the esteemed Symbiosis Law Schools (SLS) located in Pune, Noida, Hyderabad, and Nagpur. The final, non-extendable deadline for online registration and fee payment is rapidly approaching: November 30, 2025 (Sunday).

​Aspiring law professionals must treat this date as a final opportunity. Unlike other law entrance exams, the SLAT 2026 structure offers candidates a distinct advantage: the chance to appear for the test on two separate dates (December 20 and December 28, 2025), with the higher score being considered for the final merit calculation. This dual-attempt benefit makes securing the application by the November 30 deadline critically important. Candidates who have only partially filled the form or are yet to complete the fee payment for both the SLAT test and their preferred SLS campus must act without further delay.

​ I. Critical SLAT 2026 Dates and Dual-Attempt Advantage

​The Symbiosis International (Deemed University), which conducts SLAT, has released a clear and concise schedule. Law aspirants must align their preparation and application strategy with these important dates. The provision for two test attempts significantly increases a candidate's chances of performing optimally.

• ​Registration and Payment Closure:November 30, 2025 (Sunday). This is the final cut-off for the entire two-part application process.
• ​Admit Card Release (Test 01): December 11, 2025 (Thursday).
• ​Admit Card Release (Test 02): December 18, 2025 (Thursday).
• ​SLAT 2026 Computer Based Test (CBT) Dates:
  • ​SLAT Test 01: December 20, 2025 (Saturday).
  • ​SLAT Test 02: December 28, 2025 (Sunday).
• ​Result Announcement: January 15, 2026 (Thursday).
• ​The Best-of-Two Score Policy: Candidates are strongly encouraged to register for both attempts. If an aspirant appears for both Test 01 and Test 02, the higher score between the two will be automatically considered for the final merit list and subsequent admission process, providing a crucial safety net and a second chance for improvement.

​II. Mandatory Two-Part Registration and Fee Structure

​The SLAT registration requires two distinct fee components, which must both be paid before the November 30 deadline. Aspirants often overlook the second fee, which can lead to complications during the shortlisting phase.

• ​Part 1: SLAT Test Registration Fee:
  • ​Amount: ₹2,250 per test (plus applicable taxes).
  • ​Note: If a candidate chooses to appear for both SLAT Test 01 and SLAT Test 02 (recommended), they must pay this fee twice, resulting in a total of ₹4,500 for the entrance examination itself. This fee is non-refundable.
• ​Part 2: Programme Registration Fee (Mandatory for Counselling): 
  • ​Amount: ₹1,000 per programme/institute (plus applicable taxes).
  • ​Crucial Step: Candidates must select the specific SLS campus (Pune, Noida, Hyderabad, Nagpur) and the programme (B.A.LL.B. or B.B.A.LL.B.) they wish to apply for and pay this fee for each selection. For instance, applying to B.A.LL.B. at SLS Pune and B.B.A.LL.B. at SLS Noida would require ₹2,000 in programme registration fees.
• ​Eligibility Check: The minimum eligibility criterion is passing the Standard XII (10+2) or equivalent examination with a minimum of 45% marks (40% for SC/ST categories). Candidates awaiting final results are also eligible to apply.

​ III. Application Checklist and Strategic Preparation Tips

​To ensure a seamless registration process before the November 30 deadline and to maximize performance in the December tests, candidates should follow a rigorous checklist and preparation plan.

• ​Application Completion Checklist:
  • ​Visit the official SLAT website: slat-test.org.
  • ​Complete the initial registration and receive your unique SLAT ID.
  • ​Fill out the detailed application form accurately, ensuring all personal and academic details match official documents.
  • ​Upload the latest scanned photograph and signature as per the specifications.
  • ​Select the preferred test date(s) (December 20 and/or December 28).
  • ​Select all desired Symbiosis Law Schools and their respective programmes.
  • ​Pay the SLAT Test Fee (₹2,250 per attempt) and the Programme Fee (₹1,000 per programme) online before the deadline.
• ​SLAT Exam Pattern and Focus Areas: The SLAT is a 60-minute, computer-based test with 60 Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs), carrying 60 marks. 
  • ​No Negative Marking: This is a key feature; candidates should attempt all questions.
  • ​Sections: Logical Reasoning, Legal Reasoning, Analytical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, and General Knowledge.
• ​Focused Preparation: With the exam being concise (60 minutes), speed and accuracy are paramount. Preparation should now focus heavily on: 
  • ​Timed Mock Tests: Practice full-length, one-hour mock tests consistently to build speed and stamina.
  • ​Legal Reasoning: Focus on understanding legal principles and application, rather than static legal knowledge.
  • ​Analytical and Logical Reasoning: Since these sections often require intensive problem-solving, dedicated practice is essential to quickly solve complex arrangements and syllogisms.

​Conclusion

​The deadline for SLAT 2026 registration on November 30, 2025, is the immediate hurdle for all law aspirants aiming for a seat at Symbiosis Law Schools. Given the benefit of two attempts (December 20 and 28) and the competitive nature of the admissions, timely and accurate completion of the two-part application and fee payment is non-negotiable. Aspirants must secure their registration now and dedicate the remaining weeks to focused, timed preparation to ace the SLAT 2026.
