SLAT 2027 Application Form: Mistakes to Avoid Before Submitting
SLAT 2027 registration closes on December 4, 2026. Applicants planning to take the October 9 official mock test face an earlier registration and payment deadline.
The SLAT 2027 application form is available through the official Symbiosis Law Admission Test portal. Before submitting, applicants should check their personal information, eligibility, test preferences and selected law programmes. The official registration process includes both test registration and programme selection.
Candidates should also distinguish the main application deadline from the requirement for accessing the official mock test.

Common mistakes to avoid in the SLAT 2027 application form
Entering incorrect personal or contact details
Check the spelling of your name, date of birth and admission category against your records. Use contact details you can access throughout the admission process. Keep a recent, clear passport-style photograph ready and review the uploaded image before continuing.
Applying without checking eligibility
The published minimum requirement is Class 12 or an equivalent qualification from a recognised board with 45% marks or an equivalent grade, reduced to 40% for SC/ST candidates.
Check the eligibility conditions for the particular programme you intend to pursue rather than assuming that selecting it confirms eligibility.
Paying the test fee but overlooking programme registration
Paying the SLAT test fee alone does not make a candidate eligible for programme shortlisting. Applicants must also select and pay for the programmes for which they want consideration. Programme-payment deadlines must be checked separately.
Selecting test cities without reviewing travel arrangements
The official portal lists 62 test cities and allows applicants to provide up to three preferences. Review the available options before paying.
Requests to change the test date or city are not accepted after test-fee payment. SIU also reserves the right to allot another city when necessary.
Assuming every campus offers the same programmes
Check the campus and course combination carefully. The official eligibility page lists B.A. LL.B. (Honours), B.B.A. LL.B. (Honours) and B.Com. LL.B. (Honours) for Pune. Noida, Hyderabad and Nagpur are listed with B.A. LL.B. and B.B.A. LL.B. programmes.
Assuming mistakes can be corrected later
The official website states that changes are not permitted after registration. Review the complete form before submission rather than relying on a correction window.
Applicants needing assistance can use the “Raise A Query” option in their SLAT account. This is a support route, not a guarantee that a submitted detail can be changed.
Missing the earlier mock-test requirement
The December application deadline should not be confused with eligibility for the October mock test. Candidates seeking mock-test access must complete registration and payment by October 5, 2026, at 11:59 PM. slat-test.org
SLAT 2027 application fee: Understand both charges
| Fee component | Amount before applicable government taxes |
|---|---|
| SLAT registration for one test | ₹2,550 |
| SLAT registration for both tests | ₹5,100 |
| Programme registration | ₹1,000 for each programme selected |
The two-test figure is calculated as ₹2,550 × 2. Programme charges are additional. For example, one test and two programme applications total ₹4,550 before applicable taxes.
Final checklist before submitting
Compare the completed form with your records. Review your photograph, test preferences and selected programmes. Keep copies of the completed application, transaction references and payment confirmations for your own records.
Use the official SLAT registration instructions to check the applicable requirements rather than relying on an older examination-year guide.
What happens after registration?
Candidates may take both SLAT tests. When a candidate appears twice, the higher score is considered for the final percentile calculation.
After the examination, participating institutes conduct their programme-specific shortlisting and admission processes. Applicants should follow the relevant institute’s notices as well as the central SLAT updates.
