How much should you score in a SLAT 2027 mock test to feel ready? With Test 1 on 19 December 2026 and Test 2 on 26 December 2026, a clear target helps you practise with purpose. This post is for Class 12 students, repeaters and parents, and explains the scores to aim for by campus, by section and by timeline.
The Rules Behind the Score
No law fixes a SLAT cutoff. Symbiosis International (Deemed University) sets its own process as a deemed university, meaning an institution granted university status under the University Grants Commission Act, 1956. The Advocates Act, 1961 and the Bar Council of India (BCI) Rules of Legal Education, 2008 regulate five-year integrated law degrees such as BA LLB and BBA LLB. The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 requires reasonable accommodation, so check the official brochure for what applies to you.
SLAT 2027 Mock Test: Target Score by Campus
| Campus | Reported range | Mock goal |
|---|---|---|
| SLS Pune | 45 to 52 | 50+ |
| SLS Noida | 42 to 47 | 47+ |
| SLS Hyderabad | 38 to 44 | 44+ |
| SLS Nagpur | 35 to 40 | 40+ |
These ranges are unofficial estimates from education portals. Symbiosis does not publish an official SLAT cutoff, and Pune has reportedly sat around 46 to 49 in 2025. Treat the lower end as your safe score and the top as your stretch goal. Aim a few marks above the range in mocks, because the real paper may be harder.
Section-Wise Targets
| Section | Minimum | Stretch |
|---|---|---|
| Reading Comprehension | 9 | 11 |
| Logical Reasoning | 9 | 11 |
| Analytical Reasoning | 9 | 11 |
| Legal Reasoning | 9 | 11 |
| General Knowledge | 8 | 10 |
Together these give 44 to 54 out of 60. Each section has 12 questions, and the paper is 60 minutes with one mark per correct answer and no negative marking.
Turning Your Mock Average Into a Plan
After each SLAT 2027 mock test, note your score and use the average of your last three, not your best. Then act on the gap:
Mock average (last 3 tests)
↓
Compare with your campus goal
↓
Gap of 0 to 3 marks: polish accuracy
Gap of 4 to 8 marks: fix two weakest sections
Gap of 9 or more: rebuild basics daily
What Your Score Can Mean for Rank
One portal estimates that 40 marks falls in a rank range of roughly 400 to 900, though this shifts with difficulty. Reportedly, final merit combines SLAT at 70% and personal interaction at 30%, so the written score carries the most weight. SLS Pune is reported to have 180 BA LLB and 120 BBA LLB seats.
Key Dates to Plan Around
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| 15 November, 11:59 PM | Last date to be eligible for the mock |
| 22 November | Final mock test, 10 AM to 7 PM |
| 4 December | Registration closes |
| 11 and 18 December | Admit cards (expected) |
| 19 and 26 December | Test 1 and Test 2 |
| 12 January 2027 | Result (expected) |
Attempt Strategy for Test Day
- Attempt all 60 questions: there is no negative marking, so guess when unsure.
- Start with your strongest section: bank marks early.
- Budget about one minute per question: skip long passages first and return.
- Use both attempts: the best score counts, so treat Test 1 as a live mock.
Common Mistakes When Setting a Target
- Copying a friend’s target instead of choosing your own campus goal.
- Chasing perfection in one section while ignoring weaker ones.
- Skipping General Knowledge because it feels unpredictable.
- Taking mocks without timing or analysis.
- Judging yourself on one bad mock instead of your average.
Candidate Rights, Duties and Penalties
- Rights: choose one or both tests, have your best score considered, and seek accommodation under the 2016 Act.
- Duties: register by 4 December 2026, download your admit card and carry valid ID.
- Penalty: unfair means can lead to disqualification, so follow the brochure rules.
