Hello, hope you are doing well!

SLAT (Symbiosis Law Admission Test) is an entrance exam conducted by the Symbiosis International University. The exam offers law admissions to students into Symbiosis Law University Pune, Noida, Hyderabad and Nagpur. The selection process involves a two-fold process. The first fold is the SLAT exam, and the second fold is the PI-WAT (Personal Interview- Writing Ability Test). The WAT-PI round will be conducted as per slot bookings.

The Writing Ability Test at Symbiosis Law Schools is a short essay writing exercise. Candidates are supposed to write an essay on the topic given under a certain time frame. In the previous years, the time window given for WAT was 45 minutes which is expected to remain the same for this year. There are no word limitations; candidates are given the liberty to express their logical views and thoughts on the given topic as per their liking. While WAT topics are mostly general, they are however based on the current happenings around the world as well (which is also indirectly beneficial for the PI round).

Personal Interview is held after WAT which goes on roughly between 10 to 12 minutes per candidate. The questions asked during the PI round are mostly generic. It normally starts with an introduction followed with strengths/weakness, their interests, questions on academics, legal knowledge, the ‘Why Law and Why at Symbiosis’ question, view on important issues that India is facing, etc.
