NLSAT 2027 Notification: Exam Pattern and Syllabus

The NLSAT-LL.B. question paper has two parts, each carrying 75 marks. Although candidates must attempt both parts, the university follows a staged evaluation process to determine the final merit list.

Exam component	Part A	Part B
Question format	Multiple-choice questions	Subjective questions
Maximum marks	75	75
Marks per question	1 mark per question	Depends on the question
Evaluation stage	Initial screening	Second-stage evaluation
Role in final selection	Determines eligibility for Part B evaluation	Combined with Part A marks for the final rank list

Part A: Objective Questions

Part A carries 75 marks and serves as the first stage of selection. Candidates receive one mark for each correct answer. A deduction of 0.25 marks applies to every incorrect answer and every unanswered question.

Candidates must score more than zero in Part A to be considered for the next stage. Among those meeting this condition, Part B answer scripts are assessed in a 1:5 ratio based on Part A performance. This means up to five candidates per available seat in a category qualify for Part B evaluation.

Part B: Subjective Questions

Part B carries 75 marks and includes subjective questions. Its evaluation is limited to candidates selected through the Part A screening process. The university prepares the final rank list using the combined marks from both parts.
