In 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the SLAT pattern had been changed, but students should prepare keeping in mind the earlier exam patterns of SLAT.
SLAT has a unique question paper pattern as it tests an aspirant's knowledge of the subject of Analytical Reasoning rather than Mathematics. On the other hand, other prominent law entrances like CLAT, AILET have a section dedicated to the subject of mathematics. All the sections of SLAT have an equal weightage of 12 marks.
SLAT as an entrance examination easily qualifies has a moderate to difficult level of difficulty. As a law aspirant, you must work on honing your reasoning skills as there are two separate sections testing an aspirant on logical and analytical reasoning.
