SLAT Selection Process for Symbiosis Law School Admnission<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The admission process for Symbiosis Law Schools is two-stage: SLAT score \u2192 Personal Interaction (PI) \u2192 Merit list \u2192 Admission confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Appear for the SLAT Exam<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Students must attempt SLAT Test 1 or Test 2, or both. SIU considers the higher score for percentile calculation. The test contains 60 questions for 60 marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Shortlisting for Personal Interaction (PI)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Based on the SLAT score, each Symbiosis Law School (Pune, Noida, Hyderabad, Nagpur) prepares its own shortlist. The shortlisting cut-off varies for every program and campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Personal Interaction (PI) Round at Each Campus<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Candidates must appear separately for PI for every program they applied to. The PI evaluates communication skills, reasoning ability, confidence, and legal awareness. Candidates absent for even one component become ineligible for admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Merit List Preparation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every campus calculates the final merit using the formula:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SLAT (Scaled to 70) + PI (30) = 100 Marks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A combined merit list, wait list, and reject list are generated separately for each campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Offer of Admission (Provisional)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Selected candidates receive the provisional admission letter through the SLS website and email. Admission is confirmed only after:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
