General Knowledge (GK) is often considered one of the most unpredictable yet scoring sections in the Symbiosis Law Admission Test (SLAT). While the exam tests your aptitude in Logical Reasoning, Legal Reasoning, and English, the GK section can significantly boost or reduce your overall score due to its factual nature and time-efficiency. With only 12 questions carrying equal weightage, a strong command over both Static GK and Current Affairs can give you a competitive edge and help secure admission to top Symbiosis Law Schools. Below are the projected important dates for SLAT 2027 to help you plan your preparation timeline effectively.

The SLAT GK section is one of the most challenging sections of this popular exam. Many bright candidates struggle in the SLAT GK section due to its vast syllabus and unfamiliarity with the subject. This section is a 'make or break' section, causing a number of deserving applicants to miss a seat in their dream college each year.

The SLAT GK has 12 questions (out of a total of 60 questions) and constitutes equal weightage in the exam. It is a mix of questions from Current Affairs and Static GK. However, the trend with respect to GK can change any year. Thus, you will do well to go prepared with both Static and Current GK.

Why is GK Important for SLAT?

GK-based questions, due to their inherent nature, provide you with certain distinct advantages:

1.Better Accuracy: Since GK questions are factual, there is little or no scope for confusion on your part! However, this is true only if you do not indulge in blind guesswork.

2.Better Time Management: The GK section is highly time-efficient, as there is no calculation-work and analysis involved. You can use this to your advantage by allocating more time to other sections of the examination, like Logical Reasoning, Analytical Reasoning, and Reading Comprehension.

SLAT GK: Preparation Strategy

1) Static GK:

Although the syllabus is very vast, the questions from this section are relatively easy. You can easily attempt around 90% of Static General Knowledge questions if you plan your preparation intelligently.

2) Current Affairs:

The best way to prepare Current Affairs is to read newspapers daily. Newspapers like The Hindu, The Indian Express, etc. provide reliable information. Regional or vernacular newspapers should be avoided. Magazines like Chronicle, Pratiyogita Darpan, Competition Success Review, etc., are some good magazines for Current Affairs preparation.

Attempting the SLAT GK Section

Ideally, you should not spend more than 10 minutes on this section. This will allow you to allocate more time for other time-consuming sections. Further, we advise you to follow a 3-cycle method of attempting this section:
