Law School Admission Test—India

LSAT India was a standardised law-admission test for applicants to Indian law schools. It was created by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), the United States body behind the LSAT, and administered in India by Pearson VUE. It was a separate exam from the LSAT used to enter law schools in the United States.

The test measured reasoning and reading skill rather than legal knowledge. Its sections covered Analytical Reasoning, Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension in a multiple-choice objective format. There was no legal-knowledge syllabus.

Scores were accepted by more than 80 law schools and colleges across India. They fed admission to five-year integrated law degrees such as BA LLB and BBA LLB, the three-year LLB, and the one-year LLM. Eligibility followed the target programme: a Class XII pass for the five-year courses, a bachelor's degree for the three-year LLB, and a recognised LLB for the LLM, with individual institutes setting their own minimum-marks conditions.

LSAC discontinued LSAT India from the 2025 admissions cycle, describing the move as a business decision, and announced no replacement test. Applicants to the participating law schools moved to other law-entrance routes.
