SLAT

The SET exam authority recommends candidates reach the SLAT exam centre at least one hour before the commencement of the exam. Thus, SLAT exam starts at 9 AM. Thus, candidates need to reach the exam centre by 8 AM on the day of the examination. Keeping a gap of one hour between the time of reporting to the exam centre and the start of the exam will allow candidates to comply with the exam day formalities. These formalities include a security check, receiving the seat number, and occupying the right seat on exam day. Moreover, candidates can also visit the location of the exam centre one day before the commencement of the exam to analyse the distance of the location from the place they stay and the time required to reach there. 

You can find the address of your SLAT exam centre on your SLAT admit card. The Symbiosis Entrance Test (SET) Authority tries to allot the test centre to a candidate according to his or her first preference for the test city. However, there is no assurance that the test authority will always provide candidates with the centre as per their preference. When there is high demand for a particular test centre, candidates will receive the test centres as per the second or third city preferred by them. All SLAT aspirants need to know that the exam authority does not change a test centre once it is allotted to a candidate. Thus, there is no need to worry about the fact that their test centre will be changed at the last moment.

There are more than 75 cities where the SLAT exam is conducted. These 75 cities, spread across India, consist of metropolitan cities, capital cities, Tier-2 cities, and Tier-3 cities. The candidate can select up to three cities for the allotment of test centres. The process of test city selection is part of the SLAT application process. In the SLAT application form, there is a field in which candidates have to select the cities. They need to select the city of preference in an order of 1 to 3. The examination authorities will try to allot the test centre to the city of first preference. Thus, candidates must fill out all three cities carefully. They must choose their home city or city of current residence as their first preference. The test city option can only be changed during the form correction window. After that, the request for a change of city will not be accepted by the exam authorities. 

Candidates who clear the SLAT exam need to note that passing this exam is not a guarantee of a successful career in law, even if you attend a highly reputed law college. They must work hard to develop the real-life skills that are required to succeed as lawyers during their years of education at a law college. They need to learn all the law-related lessons taught to them at the college and implement them practically by participating in moot court activities and internships to gain the legal knowledge applicable to real life scenarios. Moreover, the career opportunities in law also depend on the law in which you specialise. The job opportunities in the field of law will be related to your specialisation in law.
