SLAT Exam Centres 2026, Check Test Cities, Exam Instructions

SLAT 2026 will be held in around 68 to 80 exam centres across India. These centres are located in major cities from different states, helping candidates choose the one nearest to them. The updated list of exam cities is available on the official SLAT website. Candidates should review the list carefully and pick their top three preferences while filling out the application form to ensure a convenient test location.​

Candidates can select their preferred exam cities while completing the online SLAT 2026 application form. The registration portal allows them to choose up to three test cities in order of priority. Once selected and submitted with the exam fee, changes to the preference list are not allowed. The final test centre will be allotted based on availability and will be mentioned in the admit card before the exam day.​

No, once the SLAT 2026 application form is submitted and the fee is paid, candidates cannot change their exam centre preference. The authorities consider the preferences provided during registration, along with availability, before allocating centres. Therefore, candidates are advised to select their test city options carefully before final submission to avoid any inconvenience later.​

Candidates can check their allotted SLAT 2026 exam centre details on the admit card. The admit card will mention the exact test venue, city, and reporting time. It will be available a few days before the exam on the official SLAT website. Candidates should download it, verify the details, and visit the centre location in advance if possible to avoid confusion on exam day.​

Candidates must carry a printed copy of their SLAT 2026 admit card and valid photo ID proof, such as Aadhaar, passport, or voter ID. The admit card must have the candidate’s photograph pasted on it. Without these documents, entry to the exam centre will not be allowed. It is also recommended to carry an extra copy of the admit card for safety.​

Yes, multiple candidates can choose the same exam centre if seats are available. However, the final allotment depends on seat availability and administrative convenience. If a selected centre becomes full, candidates may be allotted another nearby city. The decision taken by Symbiosis International University (SIU) is final and binding for all candidates.​

If a candidate’s preferred exam centre is unavailable, the authorities will allot the next option or a nearby centre. This is done based on seat capacity and administrative needs. Candidates cannot challenge or request changes to the allotted centre once it has been assigned, as SIU retains the right to allocate centres as per convenience.​

Candidates must reach the exam centre at least one hour before the reporting time mentioned on their admit card. Early arrival helps with document verification, seating arrangement, and relaxation before the test begins. Latecomers are not allowed to enter once the gates are closed, so it is best to plan travel in advance and arrive on time.​

While not mandatory, it is advisable for candidates to visit the exam centre a day or two before the test. This helps them know the exact location, travel route, and time needed to reach. It prevents last-minute confusion and delays on the exam day. Visiting in advance ensures candidates can arrive calmly and focus entirely on the test.​

No, SLAT 2026 is held across multiple dates and slots, and centres may vary across sessions. Candidates will be allocated a centre and slot based on their preferences and availability. Each slot’s details, including city, venue, and exam date, will be printed on the admit card. Candidates must appear only at the centre and the slot mentioned.​

If a candidate fails to appear at the allotted exam centre on the scheduled date and time, no re-exam or transfer option will be provided. The absence will be marked, and the candidate will lose that attempt. Therefore, it is critical to plan and reach the centre on time with all required documents.​

No, candidates are strictly prohibited from carrying mobile phones, calculators, smartwatches, or other electronic gadgets to the centre. Lockers may not be provided, so candidates should avoid bringing valuables. Only necessary items like the admit card, photo ID, and stationery are allowed inside the hall.​

There is no specific dress code, but candidates are advised to wear simple, comfortable clothes without pockets or accessories. Avoid wearing metal items or jewellery to save time during security checks. Comfortable attire ensures smooth movement through entry checks and allows candidates to stay relaxed during the test.​

If any technical issue occurs during the computer-based test, candidates should immediately inform the invigilator present in the hall. The staff will fix the issue or relocate them to another system. Candidates should remain calm and avoid touching the equipment on their own to prevent further disruption.​

Normally, only transparent water bottles are allowed inside the test hall. Snacks, food items, and drinks are not permitted in most centres for security reasons. Candidates are advised to eat properly before arriving and stay hydrated. Bottled water may also be provided at some centres during the exam.​
