SLAT 2026 at a Glance (Form & Timeline)

If you aim for Symbiosis Law Schools in 2026, your journey starts with the SLAT 2026 application form. The registration is online-only, and you’ll create an account on the official portal, verify your email and mobile via OTP, and then complete the form and payments. 

Submitting accurate details at this stage is crucial because edits aren’t allowed after final submission. Hence, a careful first pass saves you from rejection later.

The SLAT cycle offers two test dates—December 20 and December 28, 2025—and you may take one or both. If you sit for both, the higher score is considered for shortlisting, a strategic advantage for aspirants who want a second shot within the same cycle. Mark your calendar: registration closes on November 30, 2025.

The paper is student-friendly: 60 MCQs in 60 minutes, with no negative marking—so you should attempt every question. SLAT tests five skills with equal weightage: 

1. Logical Reasoning
2. Legal Reasoning
3. Analytical Reasoning
4. Reading Comprehension
5. General Knowledge.

The Writing Ability Test (WAT) is discontinued, and final selection is based on your SLAT score + Personal Interview (PI).

Fees come in two parts. First, the SLAT exam fee is ₹2,250 per test (non-refundable). Second, a ₹1,000 programme fee per SLS campus you apply to (also non-refundable). 

Skipping the programme fee is a common mistake that invalidates your admission consideration, even if you’ve paid the exam fee—so budget for both.

When choosing your centre, remember SLAT runs in 68 test cities and allows up to three preferences during form fill. Choose carefully, because city/date changes aren’t allowed after submission; early registration also improves your chances of getting your preferred centre.

Below is a crisp snapshot you can embed near the top of the blog for quick reference.

SLAT 2026 — Application & Exam Snapshot

Quick win: set up a folder named “SLAT 2026” on your device/cloud and save your SLAT ID, filled form PDF, fee receipts, and confirmation page. You’ll need these for the admit card, PI updates, and helpdesk queries.

Registration Dates & Schedule (2026)

Lock your SLAT 2026 registration dates first—everything else (documents, test city, mock plans) aligns to this calendar. Symbiosis usually runs SLAT in two phases within the same cycle, and for 2026, the key milestones fall across late-2025 to mid-January 2026. Always treat these as tentative till confirmed on the official portal and plan with a 3–5 day buffer.

SLAT 2026 — Registration Dates & Exam Timeline (Tentative)

Event	Date
Application start (SLAT 2026)	August 01, 2025
Last date to submit form	November 30, 2025
Admit card release	December 11, 2025 (Test 1) & December 18, 2025 (Test 2)
Exam dates (SLAT 2026 cycle)	December 20, 2025 (Test 1) & December 28, 2025 (Test 2)
Result declaration	January 15, 2026

Note: Dates can shift. Keep checking the official website for updates and download both admit cards separately if you’re taking both tests.

Actionable notes (don’t skip)

• Register early to improve your chances of getting the preferred test city/slot; late applicants often see limited centre choices.
• If you opt for Test 1 and Test 2, you must download two separate admit cards—each released on its own date.
• You may appear for one or both tests in the same cycle; if you take both, the higher score is considered in shortlisting.

Eligibility Checklist (Before You Apply)

Before you hit “Register,” run through this quick, no-nonsense checklist. It covers the academic requirement, category-wise marks, age limit, nationality, and how international/NRI seats work.

SLAT 2026 — Eligibility at a Glance

Parameter	Requirement
Academic qualification	Passed Class 12 (10+2) or equivalent from a recognised board; Class 12 appearing (2025–26) students are also eligible (provisional till marksheet submission).
Minimum marks	General/OBC: 45%, SC/ST: 40% in Class 12.
Age limit	No upper age limit prescribed for SLAT 2026.
Nationality (who can apply)	Indian nationals, NRIs, Foreign Nationals (FN), Persons of Indian Origin (PIO), Overseas Citizens of India (OCI).
International admissions route	Managed centrally by SCIE with 20% seats reserved for international category across law schools.
Who counts under International	FN (foreign passport), PIO (valid PIO card), OCI (OCI card), NRI (completed Class 10 or 12 outside India).
Important note	Meeting eligibility alone does not guarantee admission; shortlisting also depends on SLAT + PI performance.

Quick self-check (print this)

Ask yourself…	If Yes	If No
I’ve passed/appearing in Class 12 from a recognised board.	You’re academically eligible (subject to marks).	You can’t apply this year.
My aggregate meets my category’s minimum (45% Gen/OBC; 40% SC/ST).	Good to go.	Improve/verify marks; otherwise ineligible.
I meet the international/NRI definition (if applicable).	Apply via SCIE/International route; note 20% quota.	Apply under the domestic category.
I understand there’s no upper age limit.	Proceed.	—
I’m aware admission finally depends on SLAT + PI.	Plan prep for both stages.	Don’t bank on eligibility alone.

Nuances & fine print (so you don’t get tripped up)

• Appearing candidates: You can apply now; your admission is provisional until you submit the final Class 12 marksheet.
• Institute-specific norms: There’s no upper age bar, but always ensure you meet any institute-level norms published by the individual Symbiosis Law Schools.
• International/NRI route: If you fall under FN/PIO/OCI or NRI (Class 10 or 12 completed abroad), your admission is processed by SCIE with a 20% seat quota across SLS campuses.
• Eligibility ≠ selection: Even with eligibility, you still need a competitive SLAT score and to clear the PI conducted by each campus.

Pro tip: If you appear this year, apply anyway and keep your documents lined up for the PI/admission stages (category proofs, final marksheet, etc.).

Application Fees & Payment Modes

Money talk, made simple. The SLAT 2026 application involves two separate, non-refundable payments—the exam fee and the programme (per-campus) fee. Skipping the programme fee is the #1 reason applications get invalidated, even when the exam fee is paid—don’t make that mistake.

A. Fee structure (clear & final)

Fee component	Amount	What it covers	Key notes
SLAT exam fee	₹2,250 per test	Your slot to sit for SLAT (Test 1 and/or Test 2)	Fee is per test; if you take both tests, you pay this twice. Non-refundable, non-transferable.
Programme fee (per SLS campus)	₹1,000 per campus	Your application to each SLS (Pune/Noida/Hyderabad/Nagpur)	Mandatory in addition to the exam fee; taxes extra. Non-refundable, non-transferable.

Crucial: Paying only the SLAT exam fee does not make you eligible for any SLS shortlist—programme fee payment is also mandatory.

B. Worked examples (so you can budget fast)

Scenario	What you chose	You pay (before taxes)
Single test + 1 campus	Test 1 only + SLS Pune	₹2,250 + ₹1,000 = ₹3,250
Single test + 2 campuses	Test 2 only + SLS Pune & SLS Noida	₹2,250 + ₹2,000 = ₹4,250 (official example)
Both tests + 1 campus	Test 1 & Test 2 + SLS Pune	(₹2,250 × 2) + ₹1,000 = ₹5,500 (taxes extra)
Both tests + 4 campuses	Test 1 & Test 2 + all four SLS	(₹2,250 × 2) + (₹1,000 × 4) = ₹8,500 (taxes extra)

Taxes (e.g., GST) are added at checkout as per norms. Plan a small buffer on your card/UPI limit.

C. Accepted payment modes

Pay online only via Net Banking, Credit/Debit Cards, UPI, and Wallets.

Pro tips to avoid payment failures

• Prefer a desktop browser; mobile uploads & gateways can be glitchy during peak hours.
• Confirm “Payment Successful” on the preview screen for both SLAT & programme before final submission.
• Save receipts immediately (PDF/PNG) and note the transaction ID. It’s essential if you need support.

D. What if money is deducted but not reflected?

Don’t panic. Log in → “Raise a Query” from your dashboard, attach the transaction ID & screenshot, and reach the helpdesk via email/phone (Mon–Sat, working hours).

E. Post-payment checklist (print & pin)

• Download: confirmation page + all fee receipts (SLAT + each programme).
• Back up in a folder titled “SLAT 2026” (Drive/OneDrive), and keep a quick list of campuses paid for.
• Remember: Admit card & test-centre allocation reflect only after successful fee payment.

Documents to Keep Ready (Specs & Sizes)

A smooth SLAT 2026 form fill starts with getting your files right. Most rejections happen because of wrong formats, oversized images, or mismatched details. Use this section as a pre-upload checklist.

A) Registration-stage checklist (must-have)

Item	Why it’s needed	Format	Max size	Notes
Passport-size photograph	Admit card & ID match	JPEG/JPG	≤ 100 KB	Recent (≤ 6 months), front-facing, light background; avoid caps/sunglasses.
Scanned signature	Form authentication & admit card	JPEG/JPG	≤ 100 KB	Sign in blue/black ink on plain white paper; scan clearly (no smudges/cropping).
Valid email ID & mobile no. (yours)	OTP, alerts, login	—	—	Use your own contact details; all confirmations go here.
Class 10 & 12 details	Accurate data entry	—	—	Keep marksheets handy to avoid typos.

B) Photo & signature — exact specifications

Spec	Photograph	Signature
Background & pose	Light background; front-facing, full face visible	Clean white sheet; single, clear signature
Quality	Sharp, colour, proper lighting	No shadows/bleed; not pixelated
Accessories	No caps, sunglasses, heavy filters	—
Format & size	JPEG/JPG, ≤ 100 KB	JPEG/JPG, ≤ 100 KB
Common rejection reasons	Selfies, side-angles, dark/overexposed images	Cropped/half signatures, thick marker strokes

Pro tip: If your file is >100 KB, re-export it as JPEG with lower quality or compress via any offline image tool before upload. If you still get an error, check that you didn’t accidentally save as .png/.pdf.

C) What’s not required at registration (but needed later)

• Government photo ID (Aadhaar/PAN/Passport/Driving Licence/Voter ID) — checked on exam day & during PI.
• Category certificate (if applicable) — verified at PI/admission stage.
• Note in the form guide: ID/category proofs aren’t uploaded during registration; keep them ready for PI.

D) Exam-day & PI-stage documents (so you don’t scramble later)

• Exam day: Printed admit card, original photo ID, 2 recent photos (same as uploaded). Reach 60 mins early.
• PI stage: Admit the PI call letter/email, marksheets, ID, category certificate; keep neat originals + photocopies.

E) File naming & organisation (saves time at PI)

• Create a “SLAT 2026” folder and store: application PDF, receipts (SLAT + each campus), scanned photo/signature, admit card, marksheets, and category certificate. 
• Use searchable names (e.g., YourName_SLATPhoto_2026.jpg, SLATFeeReceipt_YourName.pdf). 
• Set reminders for admit card download and PI document prep.

F) Quick pre-upload audit (30 seconds)

• Photo & signature are JPEG/JPG ≤ 100 KB each.
• Your email & phone are correct and accessible for OTPs.
• Class 10/12 data exactly matches the marksheets.
• You’ve saved your files and will back them up in the SLAT 2026 folder.

Step-by-Step: Fill the SLAT 2026 Form (with pro tips)

Filling the SLAT 2026 application form is straightforward if you follow the official flow, verify via OTP, upload the right files, select SLAT (Law) + your SLS campuses, and complete both payments. Use a laptop/desktop, not a phone, and double-check everything on the preview screen before you submit—edits aren’t allowed afterwards.

A) The official 10-step application flow

Step	What you do	Why it matters
1	Visit www.slat-test.org → click Register	This creates your account on the SLAT portal.
2	Read instructions → Continue to accept T&C	You can’t proceed without accepting T&C.
3	Enter personal & basic academic details	These populate your admit card/PI record—type carefully.
4	OTP verification (email & mobile)	Activates your account and ensures you receive alerts.
5	Upload Photograph (JPEG/JPG ≤ 100 KB)	Wrong format/size blocks submission. Use a recent, front-facing photo.
6	Upload Signature (JPEG/JPG ≤ 100 KB)	Use blue/black ink on white paper; scan clearly.
7	Tick SLAT (Law) under SET options	Ensures you’re registering for the law test, not other SET exams.
8	Choose SLS programmes/campuses (Pune/Noida/Hyderabad/Nagpur)	You may select one or more; ₹1,000 per institute applies.
9	Pay the fees: ₹2,250 for SLAT (+ again if you take both tests) + ₹1,000 per SLS	Payment modes: Net banking/UPI/cards; both payments are mandatory.
10	Confirm submission → download confirmation page + receipts	Keep proof for admit card and any support queries.

Heads-up: Test city/date cannot be changed after you submit and pay, so choose preferences carefully.

B) The preview screen — verify these 5 items (30-second audit)

Checkpoint	What to verify
Photo preview	The face is clear, front-facing, well-lit (JPEG/JPG ≤ 100 KB).
Signature preview	Legible, full signature (JPEG/JPG ≤ 100 KB).
Academic data	School/board/year/marks correctly typed.
Spellings vs ID	Name/DOB match your ID; avoid abbreviations.
Payment status	Screen shows “Payment Successful” for SLAT & programme.

Once you hit Submit, you cannot edit the form. If uploads fail, compress the image and retry. Prefer a desktop browser; mobile browsers can be glitchy.

C) After you submit, what happens next?

• You’ll receive an email/SMS confirmation of successful registration. Save the confirmation page & receipts.
• If you opted for both Test-1 and Test-2, you must download two separate admit cards (released on different dates).
• Keep handy till admissions: SLAT ID & password, confirmation page, fee receipts (SLAT + each campus).

D) If payment is deducted but not reflected

Log in → open “Raise a Query” from your dashboard → attach transaction ID & screenshot. This is the official channel for registration/payment issues.

E) Common errors that cause rejection (avoid these)

• Uploading PNG/PDF or files >100 KB for photo/signature → upload fails or submission blocked. Use JPEG/JPG ≤100 KB.
• Using parents’ phone/email → missed OTP/alerts and login issues later. Use your own.
• Forgetting to pay ₹1,000 per SLS campus → you paid SLAT, but you’re not considered for admission.

Test Cities & Exam Options (One or Both Tests?)

Your centre choice and test-date strategy can save travel stress and boost your score. SLAT 2026 runs in CBT mode across 68 cities, and you can rank up to three city preferences while filling the form. Once you submit and pay, city/date changes aren’t allowed, so lock this carefully.

A) Test cities — how selection works

What you need to know	Why it matters
68 test cities; choose up to 3 during registration.	More options = higher chance of getting a nearby centre.
No changes after submission & fee payment.	The portal won’t let you edit the city/date later—decide before paying.
Two admit cards if you choose both tests.	Each test date has its own admit card released on different dates.

Quick tip: match your first preference with the closest metro/transport hub you can reliably reach in under 2–3 hours; keep backups at #2 and #3.

B) One test or both tests? (smart strategy)

SLAT offers two dates in the 2026 cycle—Dec 20, 2025 and Dec 28, 2025. You may appear in one or both; if you take both, the higher score is considered for shortlisting.

Option	What you do	Good for	Heads-up
Single test	Pick one date and prepare for that slot.	If your schedule is tight or travel is tricky.	One attempt only; no second shot within the same cycle.
Both tests	Register for Test 1 & Test 2; attempt both.	If you want a safety net or to improve after the first attempt.	You’ll download two admit cards and manage logistics for both days.

Admit card note (don’t miss this)

• Admit cards are released separately for each test date; ensure you download the correct one(s) before exam day.

Final checklist before you lock city & test(s)

• I have ranked three cities I can realistically travel to.
• I’m okay with no edits being possible after payment.
• If I choose both dates, I’ll track two admit card releases and carry the proper printout each day.

Due to unavoidable circumstances, SIU can add, remove, or modify test cities without prior notice.

Note:

• Requests to change the test date or city will not be accepted once the SLAT registration fee is paid.
• Test City and Test Date are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Early payment increases your chances of securing your preferred date and city.
• Test timing, centre, and address will be provided on the Admit Card (available on www.slat-test.org).
• Candidates should decide beforehand which test(s) they wish to attempt, as test centre capacities for computer-based tests are limited.
• SIU may change or assign a city other than the one requested if the preferred city is unavailable.
• Every effort will be made to allot a city as per preference. Still, in rare cases, an alternate nearby city may be assigned.
• Computer-based testing is a proven and reliable process conducted for millions annually. However, as with paper-based testing or any human activity, unexpected issues may arise, preventing test delivery or result generation. If this happens, every effort will be made to resolve the issue, including arranging another test.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

Many SLAT forms get delayed or rejected for avoidable reasons—wrong file formats, skipped programme fees, or rushing through the preview screen. Use this section as your “red flag” guide and fix everything in minutes.

1) Upload & format errors (photo/signature)

Mistake	Why it’s a problem	Quick fix
Uploading PNG/PDF instead of JPEG/JPG	Portal rejects the file or blocks submission	Re-save as JPEG/JPG; only these are accepted for both photo and signature.
File >100 KB (or too compressed)	Upload fails / poor clarity	Compress to ≤100 KB using an offline tool; aim for a clear image (300 DPI recommended).
Selfie or side-angled photograph	Can cause rejection / admit card issues	Use a formal, front-facing colour passport photo with a light background.
Cropped/partial signature	Fails verification at PI	Re-scan the entire signature on a white sheet with good contrast.

2) Form data & preview screen mistakes

Mistake	Why it’s a problem	Quick fix
Skipping the preview screen	You miss typos and payment glitches	On preview, verify: photo, signature, academics, spellings vs ID, and “Payment Successful” for SLAT and programme(s).
Submitting from a mobile browser	Common cause of upload/payment errors	Use a desktop/laptop and stable internet; mobile browsers are often glitchy.
Assuming you can edit later	You cannot edit after submit	Triple-check—no changes are allowed post-submission.
Wrong academic data or spellings	Mismatch at PI can disqualify	Cross-verify against your marksheets; match your name/DOB with ID proofs.

3) Fees & payments—classic pitfalls

Pitfall	What happens	Fix it like this
Paying only the SLAT fee (₹2,250) and skipping programme fee (₹1,000 per campus)	You’ll not be considered for admission	Pay both: SLAT fee and ₹1,000 per SLS campus; fees are non-refundable.
Payment deducted but not reflected	Form remains incomplete	Log in → Raise a Query → attach transaction ID + screenshot (official channel).
Using unsupported / unstable mode	Gateway errors	Use supported Net Banking / UPI / Cards; retry on desktop.

4) Test city & test-date slip-ups

Mistake	What’s the rule	Do this instead
Choosing only 1 city and finding no nearby centre	You can select up to 3 cities	Rank three realistic options during registration.
Trying to change city/date after paying	No changes allowed post-submission	Decide your preferences before paying.
Taking both tests but downloading only one admit card	Each test date has its own admit card	If you chose both Dec 20 & Dec 28, download two separate admit cards.
Skipping the second test assuming scores are averaged	Higher of the two scores is considered	Sitting for both gives you a built-in second chance.

5) Contact & communication errors

Mistake	Why it’s risky	What to do
Using parent’s email/phone	You may miss OTPs, logins, admit card & PI alerts	Use your own active email ID and mobile number.
Not saving login credentials	Can’t access admit card/results	Save your SLAT ID & password safely (password manager, note).

6) Post-submission complacency

Don’t forget to…	Why
Download confirmation page + all fee receipts (SLAT + each campus)	Proof of successful submission and institute-wise payments.
Track emails/SMS for admit card, PI shortlist & merit list	All communication goes to your registered contacts.
Keep a tidy “SLAT 2026” folder (digital)	Everything you’ll need later is in one place.

Quick troubleshooting (symptom → cause → fix)

• “Upload failed” for photo/signature → wrong format/size → save as JPEG/JPG ≤100 KB and retry on desktop.
• Blurry photo after upload → low resolution → use a fresh 300 DPI photograph.
• Payment deducted, status pending → gateway delay → Raise a Query with transaction proof.
• Can’t find admit card for second test → each date has a different admit card → download both if you opted for both dates.

60-second pre-submit checklist

• Photo & signature: JPEG/JPG and ≤100 KB each.
• The programme fee is paid for every SLS you’ve chosen.
• Preview shows “Payment Successful” for both SLAT & programme(s).
• Names, DOB, and academics match your documents/ID.
• You understand no edits after submission.

After You Submit: What to Track

You’ve hit Submit—excellent. Now switch to tracking mode so nothing slips through the cracks. Here’s what happens next, what to watch in your inbox, and what to keep handy until PI and admissions.

A) Immediate confirmations (within minutes)

• You’ll receive a confirmation email and SMS for successful submission and payment. Save both.
• Download & store the confirmation page and fee receipts (SLAT + every SLS campus you selected). These are your proof of submission/payment and may be requested later.

Pro tip: Create a “SLAT 2026” folder on your laptop/cloud and keep all PDFs, receipts, and login details there.

B) Milestones to track (with dates)

Milestone	What to do	Why it matters
Admit Card – Test 1	Log in and download the Test-1 admit card when it releases.	Entry pass for your first attempt; always carry a clear print.
Admit Card – Test 2 (if opted)	Download a second admit card for Test-2 on its own release date.	SLAT issues separate admit cards for each test date.
Exam Day	Carry admit card + original photo ID + same passport photo you uploaded. Reach 60 mins early.	Missing any one of these can deny entry.
Result Day	Check the SET portal on January 15, 2026 for your scorecard.	Official result date; download section-wise and total scores.
PI Notifications	Watch your email/SMS and SLS websites for PI shortlists & schedule.	Final selection = SLAT (scaled 70) + PI (30). Be ready with documents.

C) Files to keep safe (don’t delete these)

File/Info	Where to save	Why
SLAT ID & password	Password manager / secure note	You’ll need them for admit cards, results, PI updates.
Confirmation page	“SLAT 2026” folder (cloud + local)	Proof of successful application/payment if asked later.
Fee receipts (SLAT + each SLS)	Same folder; name clearly (e.g., SLS_Pune_Receipt.pdf)	Confirms you paid the campus-wise ₹1,000 programme fee(s).
Uploaded photo & signature	Keep the exact files	Must match your admit card & exam-day photos.
Govt. photo ID (original)	Exam-day kit	ID must match registration details on admit card.
PI-stage docs list	Checklist with originals + photocopies	Class 10/12 marksheets, ID, category certificate, photos, PI call letter.

D) What to expect in your inbox (so you don’t miss alerts)

• Registration success email/SMS + payment receipt(s).
• Admit card release alerts (remember: two if you chose both tests).
• The result announcement will be on January 15, 2026, via portal + email prompt.
• PI shortlist & schedule from individual SLS campuses; final merit lists later.

E) If something looks off (how to get help fast)

• Payment deducted, not reflected? Log in → Raise a Query with transaction ID + screenshot—this is the official resolution path.
• Data mismatch (name/DOB/photo) between form and ID? Fix now—mismatches can lead to candidature cancellation at PI.
• Stay organised: Keep a single “SLAT 2026” folder and back it up to Drive/OneDrive with reminders in your calendar.

Helpline, Support & “Raise a Query”

Even with a flawless plan, things can wobble—an OTP doesn’t arrive, a payment shows “deducted” but not “successful,” or an admit card won’t download. Don’t stress. Symbiosis provides multiple support channels, and the fastest way to get a resolution is to raise a ticket from your SLAT login.

A) Official support channels (save these)

Channel	How to use it	Notes
Raise a Query (ticket)	Log in → click “Raise A Query” → submit details/screenshots	Best for payment/portal issues; creates a traceable ticket ID.
Email	Write to info@slat-test.org from your registered email	Include SLAT ID, name, phone, issue summary, and proofs.
Toll-free phone	9071013499	Working hours: Mon–Sat, 9:30 AM–6:00 PM (excl. public holidays).

Tip: During peak days, always raise a ticket (faster + documented). Use email/phone as secondary. Keep screenshots of every interaction.

B) When should you contact support?

• OTP/SLAT ID not received after registration.
• Payment was deducted but not reflected on the portal. (Attach transaction ID & proof.)
• Unable to download the confirmation page or admit card.
• Confusion about program fee or test-date selection; need guidance on re-registration.

C) What to include in a ticket/email (copy-paste checklist)

• Subject: SLAT 2026 – [Issue Type] – [Your SLAT ID]
• SLAT ID & Full Name (as on form)
• Registered email & mobile number
• Issue summary in 2–3 lines (what happened + where)
• Date/time of issue and your browser/device
• Payment details (if relevant): amount, mode (UPI/Card/NetBanking), Transaction ID, bank ref #, and screenshot of debit/SMS
• What you need resolved (e.g., “mark payment successful / enable admit card download”)

For payments: raising an in-portal ticket with transaction ID + screenshot is the official path to resolution.

D) Fastest resolution path (recommended order)

1. Raise a Query from your dashboard with proofs.
2. If urgent, call the toll-free number and mention your ticket ID.
3. Follow up by email summarising the call and attaching screenshots (keeps a paper trail).

E) Keep your “SLAT 2026” folder ready for support

Maintain a single folder with confirmation page, fee receipts, uploaded photo/sign, and a mini log of calls/emails/tickets. It helps you respond quickly if support asks for documents.

Pay the exam fee of ₹2,250 per test and ₹1,000 per SLS campus. Both payments are mandatory and non-refundable.

6. Is the programme fee of ₹1,000 per campus compulsory?

Yes, without paying programme fees, that campus will not consider you. Budget for each Symbiosis Law School you select.

7. Do I pay the exam fee again if I opt for both tests?

Yes, the ₹2,250 exam fee is charged per test date. Taking both tests means paying this fee twice.

8. Which payment modes are accepted?

Online payment via Net Banking, UPI, and Credit or Debit Cards. Keep a small buffer for taxes and gateway charges.

9. Money was deducted, but the portal shows as pending. What is it now?

Log in and use Raise a Query with the transaction ID and a screenshot. This creates a ticket so support can verify and update your status.

10. How do I confirm my registration is successful?

You will receive confirmation by email and SMS after payment. Download the confirmation page and all fee receipts immediately.

11. Which documents are required at registration?

A recent passport photograph and scanned signature in JPEG or JPG. Also, keep Class 10 and 12 details, and verify your email and phone via OTP.

12. What are the upload specifications for the photo and signature?

JPEG or JPG format with a file size up to 100 KB each. Clear, front-facing photograph and a clean full signature on white paper.

13. Can I use my parents’ email or mobile number?

Use your own active email and mobile for OTPs and alerts. This prevents missed messages and login issues later.

14. Can I change my test city after submitting the form?

No, the town and date cannot be changed after submission and payment. Decide on three realistic city preferences before you pay.

15. How many test cities can I select in the form?

You can select up to three city preferences. Ranking multiple cities improves your chance of a nearby centre.

16. Do I get separate admit cards for the two test dates?

Yes, each test date has its own admit card release. Download the correct admit card for each date you will attempt.

17. What should I carry on exam day?

Printed admit card, original government photo ID, and a recent passport photo. Reach the centre at least 60 minutes before reporting time.

18. What is the SLAT paper pattern and duration?

Sixty multiple-choice questions in sixty minutes with no negative marking. Five sections carry equal weightage to test core skills.

19. Is WAT part of the selection process?

WAT is discontinued for this cycle. The final selection will combine your SLAT score and personal interview.

20. When will SLAT 2026 results be declared?

Results are scheduled for 15 January 2026. Check the portal and download your scorecard on that date.

21. Where can I track all post-submission updates?

Use your registered email and mobile for alerts from the portal. Also, log in periodically to check admit cards, results, and PI notices.

22. What should I save after submitting the form?

Save your SLAT ID, confirmation page, exam fee receipt, and programme fee receipts. Back them up in a folder named SLAT 2026 on cloud and local storage.

23. I uploaded the files, but the portal shows an error—why?

Most failures are due to the wrong format or size. Re-export as JPEG or JPG under 100 KB and retry on a desktop browser.

24. Whom should I contact for technical or payment issues?

Use Raise a Query from your dashboard as the primary channel. You can also email or call support with your SLAT ID and proof.

25. Does eligibility alone guarantee admission?

No, eligibility only allows you to apply and sit the test. Admission depends on your SLAT performance and Personal Interview.
