NMIMS Law Admissions Progress with NLAT/NMIMS-LAT Application Window Open

The Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) has officially opened the application window for its prestigious integrated law programs for the 2026 academic session. Aspiring lawyers looking to join the Kirit P. Mehta School of Law or other NMIMS law campuses can now register for the NMIMS Law Aptitude Test (NMIMS-LAT), also widely known as NLAT. This entrance exam serves as the primary gateway for the five-year B.A., LL.B. (Hons.) and B.B.A., LL.B. (Hons.) courses. With a legacy of legal excellence, NMIMS continues to offer a curriculum that blends traditional jurisprudence with modern corporate needs.

Eligibility and Campus Overview

Before beginning the registration process, candidates must ensure they meet the specific academic requirements set by the university. NMIMS maintains a consistent standard across all its specialized law schools to ensure a high-quality peer group.

• Academic Qualification: Candidates must have passed their Class 12 or equivalent examination from a recognized board with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks.
• Age and Stream: There is no age bar for appearing in the NLAT; students from any academic stream (Science, Commerce, or Arts) are eligible to apply.

Exam Structure and Selection Process

The NMIMS-LAT 2026 is designed as a computer-based test that evaluates a candidate’s aptitude across five distinct areas. One unique advantage of this exam is the "multiple attempt" flexibility provided to students.

• Test Components: The exam consists of 150 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) covering English Language, Current Affairs, Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Techniques.
• Marking Scheme: Each correct answer earns 1 mark, and significantly, there is no negative marking, allowing students to attempt all questions.
• Attempt Policy: Candidates can take the exam up to three times (one main attempt and two retakes). The university considers the highest score among all attempts for the final merit list.
• Merit List: Selection is strictly based on the NMIMS-LAT score and the preferences filled during the application process.
