Toppers from CLAT, AILET and LSAT India who took SLAT
Q: Is it tough to get into Symbiosis Law School LLM?
Q: What is a good score for SLAT?
Q: Which is the most difficult section of SLAT?
The most difficult section of SLAT cannot be specified because the difficulty level of a subject or exam section is different for all candidates. For example, some candidates have expertise in Logical Reasoning and Analytical Reasoning. Thus, these two sections of the SLAT exam will be easier for them than other exam sections. It can be said that the difficulty level of a SLAT section for a candidate is based on his or her expertise in it. If we analyze the sectional difficulty for SLAT based on the patterns of question papers from previous years, General Knowledge is the most difficult section because questions in this section can be asked from anywhere from static GK topics to current affairs.
Law aspirants attempt multiple entrance exams to ensure admission in top law colleges in India, therefore, here are some tips from toppers who also appeared for SLAT and scored well:
