With the SLAT 2026 results declared on January 15, candidates have moved to the critical PI (Personal Interaction) preparation stage. Discover key dates for slot booking and document uploads for SLS Pune, Noida, Nagpur, and Hyderabad to secure your law admission.

Following the official announcement of the Symbiosis Law Admission Test (SLAT) results yesterday, thousands of law aspirants have transitioned into the second phase of the selection process. Symbiosis International (Deemed University) declared the scorecards for both test sessions on January 15, triggering the start of the Personal Interaction (PI) cycle. This year, the university has officially discontinued the Writing Ability Test (WAT), placing 30% of the final merit weightage entirely on the candidate’s performance during the online interview.

Shifting Focus to Personal Interaction

The selection criteria for 2026 place a heightened emphasis on a candidate’s interpersonal skills and legal aptitude. As the WAT has been removed, the PI round now serves as the primary tool for institutes to assess a student’s communication skills, confidence, and motivation for pursuing a legal career. Candidates who meet the varying cutoffs of the four Symbiosis Law Schools (SLS) must now focus on building a strong portfolio that highlights their academic achievements and extracurricular involvement.

• Weightage Update: The final merit list will be calculated using a 70:30 ratio, where the SLAT score is scaled to 70 and the PI provides the remaining 30 marks.
• Online Format: All interviews will be conducted in a remote proctored online mode, requiring students to ensure technical readiness.
• Evaluation Criteria: Panels will test the candidate's awareness of current legal issues and their general personality traits.
• Portfolio Requirement: Shortlisted students are required to upload a digital portfolio or Curriculum Vitae (CV) on the institute's portal before their scheduled slot.

Key Dates for SLS Institute-Wise Rounds

As the counseling phase begins, each Symbiosis Law School—located in Pune, Noida, Nagpur, and Hyderabad—follows a slightly different timeline for shortlisting and interviews. It is mandatory for students to have registered and paid the program fee for their specific chosen institute during the initial application phase to be eligible for the counseling call.

Final Steps to Admission

Candidates are currently logging into the official portal to download their scorecards and verify their section-wise marks. A high score on the portal is only the first step; successful applicants must now book their interview slots and upload mandatory documents, including Class 10 and 12 mark sheets and category certificates. Any failure to participate in the PI round will result in the immediate disqualification of the candidate from the final merit list consideration.

Conclusion

The transition to the selection phase marks the most competitive part of the Symbiosis law admission journey. With the result now live, the burden of proof shifts to the student’s ability to articulate their legal aspirations during the interview. By maintaining a professional portfolio and staying updated on national news, aspirants can navigate the upcoming week of slot bookings and document submissions with precision and poise.
