In case of emergency that prevents you from taking the test on your allotted / selected slot, you may make a rescheduling request by contacting lsatindia@pearson.com. All such requests must be accompanied with relevant documents to support the reason for the change. Our candidate support team will attempt to accommodate your request. To make a request, from your dashboard, click the yellow Any Queries? Ask Us tab on the right side of the screen. Your request must be received during the announced period listed on the LSAT—India™ Key Dates page. Please note that the request for such a change will be entertained only once.

The LSAT is an admissions test for North American and Australian graduate law programmes. The LSAT—India™ is an admission test customised for Indian law colleges and is used only for admission to law colleges within India. The LSAT—India™ includes the same question types as the LSAT, but is shorter, and scores are reported on a different scale. Scores from the two tests cannot be compared.

All candidates who complete the test registration application, including uploading a photo and electronic copy of a valid photo ID, pay the registration fee in a timely manner, and follow the published test rules may sit for the LSAT—India™.

LSAT—India™ is a single test for admission to multiple law schools in India. It is the candidate's responsibility to understand the eligibility requirements of the law college to which he/she is applying before deciding to register for the LSAT—India™. If a candidate registers for the test but later is deemed ineligible for admission to the intended law school, no test-fee refund will be available. For LSAT—India Associated Law Colleges eligibility requirements, visit the respective law colleges' webpages.

You will need a valid email address, mobile number, and one of the valid photo IDs from the acceptable ID list. Follow the instructions to capture your photo through the integrated camera within the registration application or upload a digital photograph of yourself. In either case, please read the instructions carefully to ensure your photo is not rejected. You will also be required to pay the requisite test fee via any of the payment options available.

During registration you will be required to upload an electronic copy (photo, scan, etc.) of one of the IDs below. The ID must be original, current/unexpired, include your date of birth (DOB), and have a recognisable photograph and signature. The first and last names on the ID must match the names entered when registering. Do not upload a password-protected version of your ID.

Following are acceptable forms of ID:

UIDAI / Aadhaar Card (coloured or black/white E-Aadhaar Print is acceptable, but Aadhaar registration slip is NOT acceptable)
Passport
Election card / voter ID
PAN card
Driver’s license
SC/ ST certificate with photograph
Military ID / government-issued Armed Forces Dependent ID containing photograph of the test-taker
Employee ID containing photograph and signature

The following are NOT acceptable as IDs:

Photocopies (attested or otherwise)
Notarised copies
Learner's driving license

Most of the information in your application cannot be changed after you have submitted the application and paid the registration fee, so, it is important to enter the information carefully. If you lack a required piece of information or are uncertain about the accuracy of some information, you can save your application and return to it when you have the accurate information. You may be allowed to edit only some of the information after you have submitted your registration fee.

Your registration is complete when you have entered all the required information on the registration application, uploaded your photo and identification document, and submitted the requisite payment. You will receive an email on your registered email ID confirming that your registration is complete. You may also access this information from the dashboard in the registration application after you sign in. Please note that closer to the test date you may be required to submit a test appointment preference to be eligible for the test.

LSAT—India™ is the test for admission into multiple law schools in India. You may be from any country, but you may take the test only from within India or one of the following countries: Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Tanzania, Qatar, or Bahrain. You must notify Pearson VUE in writing at lsatindia@pearson.com of your intent to test from within one of the above listed countries (except India) at least one month prior to the relevant test date. Failing to do so will result in cancellation of your test.

LSAC LawPrep^sm is a digital test prep platform that allows law aspirants studying for the law entrance exams – CLAT, AILET, SLAT, along with LSAT—India™, to practise the critical-thinking skills commonly tested in these exams. It offers a library of digital practise tests that focus on critical-thinking skills, reading skills, and logical reasoning skills, which are essential for success in law school.

LSAC LawPrep^sm is an ideal study tool, since it replicates the LSAT—India™ test-day experience. Students can access this digital product anytime, anywhere, on their desktop or laptop. Visit the LSAC LawPrep^sm page to learn more.

PrepTests are available in three collections – Silver (three PrepTests), Gold (five PrepTests), and Platinum (10 PrepTests), offering access to a comprehensive collection of practise tests. Not all PrepTest series are available for sale at all times. Refer to the LSAT—India™ fees and payments information for pricing and discounts.

Refer to the LSAC LawPrep^sm page for more information on TestPrep.

The preparation products offered are very cost-effective. For candidates who just want to attempt a practise test, one mock practise test is available at no cost. For students who want to do more in-depth studying and take multiple practise tests, our Silver, Gold, and Platinum collections provide access to several PrepTests with a maximum of five attempts each. The high-quality standardised tests offered compare very favourably to the digital preparation packages offered by other entrance test preparation companies. Also, by practising on the LSAC LawPrep^SM platform, candidates will get LSAT—India™ test-day experience and become familiar with the digital interface used on test day.

Following are the key differences between LawPrep and the LSAT—India™ test-day experience:

Unlike the PrepTests on LawPrep, to take the real LSAT—India™, you will need to download a special locked-down browser that we will provide to you.
Unlike the PrepTests on LawPrep, on test day your webcam will record you and you will be able to see your own image in a corner of the screen.
While you can navigate freely between sections on the PrepTests (as long as timer has not expired), you will not be able to return to a section once you navigate away from it on the real LSAT—India™.
Some questions in the PrepTests on LawPrep only have four answer choices, but every question on the real LSAT—India™ will have five answer choices.

You have 35 minutes for each section; the timer cannot be adjusted. It is important to learn to practice under timed conditions to simulate a real test experience. Bear in mind, however, that you do have five attempts for each PrepTest. Also, you may review your test after each attempt and take the time to better understand questions you may have missed or skipped when taking the PrepTest initially.

Some candidates for the LSAT—India™ will request and receive extra time on test day because they have a disability. For these candidates, we have created versions of all the PrepTests with additional time added. The time permitted for each section of an Additional Time PrepTest is 50 minutes, as compared to 35 minutes for the regular PrepTest sections.

LSAC LawPrep^sm is a powerful tool that helps candidates develop critical-thinking and reading skills. These skills help law students in understanding, analysing, and identifying important facts, arguments, and/or reasoning in any topic. We believe that LSAC LawPrep^sm is not just about the test practise but helps learners develop important skills for their legal education and career ahead. Refer to the LSAC LawPrep^sm page for more information.

In general, yes. However, Pearson VUE is committed to promoting quality, access, and equity in law and education for candidates in India.

All candidates who have successfully paid their LSAT—India™ registration fee will be required to complete a system verification step closer to the exam date to confirm their computer and other equipment meet the requirements to take the LSAT—India™. If your equipment does not successfully pass the system verification, you must obtain replacement equipment and perform the system verification step again. Anyone who hasn’t successfully completed the system verification step will not be allowed to take the LSAT—India™.

Pearson VUE considers the security, integrity, and validity of the LSAT—India™ to be of the utmost importance. Accordingly, we are implementing the highest standards of security. Candidates will take the test via a secured browser and will be unable to access any of the computer’s other programs during the test. Candidate activities during the test will be recorded via webcam. Any sign of possible candidate misconduct, including collaboration with others, will be detected using AI-assisted technology and human reviewers.

Once you’ve completed registration, your test appointment (date and time) will be communicated via email. If you need to reschedule your exam, you may send a request to lsatindia@pearson.com. Pearson VUE will provide the dates by when you must perform a system verification step to confirm you meet the system specifications. Additional communication regarding the process for taking the test will be made available as your test appointment approaches.

You are allowed to have only pencils, sharpeners, erasers, a beverage in clear container, and two single sheets of unmarked paper in your workspace. You must not have in your workspace (i.e., your desk, table, or work surface and the area within arm’s reach of that space) anything other than the items described above at the time of the test, including during the check-in period. Any articles such as mobile phones, cameras, headphones, earphones, smart watches, beepers, calculators, notes, notebooks, dictionaries, etc., are considered prohibited items and must be removed from your workspace. Accessing a prohibited item at any time during the test will be considered misconduct and will be grounds for cancellation of your score with no possibility of refund or retest.

Adhering to the highest moral and ethical standards is essential for those in the legal profession. The following describes some forms of misconduct that are grounds for possible dismissal and cancellation of your score. This list is for illustrative purposes only and is not an exhaustive list:

Using or accessing any books, notes, or study material of any kind.
Permitting another person any kind of access to the test content or computer you are using for testing.
Modifying the web camera’s view in any way except to permit a better view of your face.
Having any electronic device other than the testing equipment in the workspace.
Communicating or interacting with anyone else (aside from the support team, if necessary).

If your session is flagged for a violation during the test, your web camera data gathered during the test may be used in an investigation and any misconduct detected may lead to cancellation of your score for the year with no possibility of refund or retest.

In most cases, the remote proctoring system will save your progress and pause the test while the technical issue is resolved, then restart the test and allow you to resume where you left off. You will not lose any test time. If you are unable to restore your connection within 60 minutes, your testing session will be terminated. You may be allowed to take the test again if you submit a request for a retest using the Query system on your Registration Dashboard. From your dashboard, click the yellow Any Queries? Ask Us tab on the right side of the screen. Retest requests submitted by email or any other means may not be granted.

Pearson VUE is committed to working with differently abled candidates to see that their unique needs are met under the circumstances. All candidates who have provided details of their accommodations needs during registration will be contacted to explain their support requirements. If you have any situation that provides for additional time or other needs, Pearson VUE will communicate directly with you to ensure the same is available to you for your exam session. We have also created versions of PrepTests and the Mock test with additional time added. The time permitted for each section of an Additional Time PrepTest will be 50 minutes, as compared to 35 minutes for the regular PrepTest sections.

The following describes some forms of misconduct and is grounds for cancellation of your score. This list is for illustrative purposes only and is not an exhaustive list. It will be considered misconduct if a candidate is found:

Using or accessing any books, notes, or study material of any kind.
Permitting another person any kind of access to the test content or computer you are using for testing.
Modifying the web camera’s view in any way except to permit a better view of your face.

To aid you in interpreting your LSAT—India™ Scaled Score, a percentile is reported. Your percentile reflects the percentage of candidates for your programme whose scores were lower than yours within the test administration you took. For example, a percentile of 79.66% indicates that you scored higher than 79.66% of test takers for your programme who took the LSAT—India™ within the same administration. Note that the percentile of test takers seeking entrance to a Five-Year Integrated Law Programme cannot be compared to the percentile of those seeking entrance to a Three-Year LL. B Programme.

Your LSAT—India™ Scaled Score is based on the number of questions you answered correctly (your raw score) and is an estimate of your actual proficiency in the skills tested. As there are slight differences in the difficulty of different versions of the LSAT—India™ across test administrations, these raw scores are not directly comparable. For this reason, your raw score is converted to an LSAT—India™ Scaled Score that ranges from 420 to 480, with 420 being the lowest possible score and 480 being the highest possible score. LSAT—India™ Scaled Scores can be directly compared across different administrations and testing years.
