SLAT 2026 Test 2 Schedule Confirmed: Admit Card Release on December 18, Exam on December 21
The admission process for the B.A.LL.B. and B.B.A.LL.B. programs at the Symbiosis Law Schools (SLS Pune, Noida, Nagpur, and Hyderabad) is moving forward with the upcoming second phase of the entrance examination. Aspirants are currently in the final stages of preparation for SLAT (Symbiosis Law Admission Test) 2026 Test 2, scheduled for Sunday, December 21, 2025.
Crucially, the Symbiosis International (Deemed University) (SIU) has announced that the Admit Cards for Test 2 will be available for download from the official portal starting December 18, 2025. Candidates are advised to use the remaining time to solidify their preparation and complete all necessary administrative steps.
SLAT 2026 Multi-Test Strategy
SLAT is conducted in two phases, and like other Symbiosis entrance tests (SNAP), the best score obtained across the two attempts is considered for the final merit list. This policy significantly benefits candidates, giving them a chance to improve their performance from Test 1 (held on December 1, 2025) and maximize their chances of being shortlisted for the mandatory Personal Interview (PI) and Written Ability Test (WAT).
SLAT 2026 Key Dates at a Glance:
| Event | Date | Significance |
| SLAT Test 1 | December 1, 2025 | Completed. |
| SLAT Test 2 Admit Card Release | December 18, 2025 | Mandatory document download begins. |

Exam Pattern Reminder: Speed and Accuracy are Key
SLAT is a 60-minute online, computer-based test consisting of 60 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs). The test is designed to assess logical, analytical, and legal reasoning skills.
| Section | Number of Questions | Total Marks |
| Logical Reasoning | 12 | 12 |
| Legal Reasoning | 12 | 12 |
| Analytical Reasoning | 12 | 12 |
| Reading Comprehension | 12 | 12 |
| General Knowledge | 12 | 12 |
| Total | 60 | 60 |
Crucial Point: There is NO NEGATIVE MARKING in SLAT. This is a significant advantage, encouraging aspirants to attempt all 60 questions within the limited time frame.
Final Preparation and Logistics
- Mock Tests: The best strategy now is to practice full-length, 60-minute mock tests to refine time management, especially in the Legal and Logical Reasoning sections.
- Admit Card Check: Candidates must ensure they can access their application portal now, so they are ready to download and print the Admit Card immediately after its release on December 18.
- PI-WAT Focus: Since the written test is immediately followed by the PI-WAT shortlisting, aspirants should also begin preparing a strong general knowledge base and work on their communication skills for the final interview round in January.
