SLAT is a computer-based test. SIU may not publish a complete official question-paper archive after each test. Use only papers or sample questions with a clearly identified year and trustworthy source; do not treat recalled questions as an official answer key.

Why solve previous papers and mocks?

• Become familiar with the five-section format and objective question style.
• Practise moving between reasoning and reading tasks under a 60-minute limit.
• Identify weak areas and improve accuracy through review of explanations.
• Track time per question and practise leaving no section unattempted.

SLAT 2027 paper pattern

The official structure lists 60 questions for 60 marks in 60 minutes: 12 each in Logical Reasoning, Legal Reasoning, Analytical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension and General Knowledge. The test is CBT, all sections are mandatory, each correct response carries one mark and there is no negative marking.

Finding and using an archive

Check the official SLAT portal for authorised mock tests and current candidate instructions. If using third-party previous-year material, verify the exam year, source and pattern before practising. Keep a separate error log for incorrect reasoning, misread passages and missed current affairs; avoid downloading files from untrusted sites or sharing candidate credentials.
