Does SLAT accept compartmental candidates?

Compartmental students are those who are unable to pass one or more subjects but can reappear for the subjects without the need to repeat the entire year. Such compartmental students can appear for SLAT 2026 provided they clear their compartment exam and get the passing certificate before the admission process. These students can also complete their compartment exam and appear for the SLAT exam next year.

Does SLAT Accept Compartmental Candidates?

Yes, SLAT accepts compartmental candidates, but there are certain conditions. Students with a compartment can apply for the exam, provided they clear their compartment exam before the final admission deadline at Symbiosis Law Schools (SLS). The major eligibility criteria for SLAT are the final Class 12 result, so compartmental students might be given provisional admission. It will only be confirmed after your compartmental result is cleared and your updated marksheet is submitted.

SLAT Rules for Compartmental Students

To secure admission to Symbiosis Law Schools through SLAT, the compartmental candidates need to fulfil the following conditions:

• The compartment exam result must be declared before the confirmation of the admission date set by Symbiosis Law Schools (SLS).

• The candidates must submit a valid Class 12 passing certificate and an updated marksheet.

• Your admit card, compartment exam marksheet, overall Class 12 marksheet and transfer/ character certificate must be ready at the time of SLAT admission.

• If the board delays your compartment results and you cannot provide a passing marksheet at the time of admission, Symbiosis Law Schools may not confirm your admission.
