The domestic LSAT—India examination was discontinued after the 2024 cycle. Students seeking Indian law admission in 2027 should not wait for an LSAT—India form.
What this exam or admission route is
Indian universities now use routes such as CLAT, AILET, SLAT, LNAT or institution-specific admission, depending on the law school. The accepted test must be verified on each university’s own admission page.
Who can apply
Eligibility follows the chosen replacement exam and institution. Do not transfer old LSAT—India marks, registration rules or participating-college lists to the 2027 cycle.
Exam or selection structure
- CLAT for participating National Law Universities
- AILET for NLU Delhi
- University-specific tests or merit routes for other institutions
- International LSAT only where the overseas law school accepts it
How to apply
- Create a shortlist of law schools first
- Record the accepted entrance test for every school
- Apply separately to the test and, where required, the university
- Track counselling/interview steps after results
Preparation and planning
CLAT and AILET both reward reading and reasoning but use different patterns. Prepare from the official syllabus of the exam you will actually take instead of old LSAT—India material.
Documents to keep ready
- Class 10 certificate for name and date of birth
- Qualifying-examination marksheets and certificate
- Recent photograph, signature and valid photo ID
- Category, EWS, PwD, domicile or experience certificate, where applicable
