NEW DELHI, INDIA, Nov. 20, 2014 – The examination date for the prestigious Law School Admission Test (LSAT—India) has been announced. LSAT—India, the reasoning-based test, will be conducted on May 17, 2015 (Sunday) in 16 cities across India. The test is established as one of the leading law tests for Under-Graduate and Post-Graduate law admissions in the country and more than 50 law colleges accept LSAT—India scores as one of their admissions criteria.

Prominent law schools including Jindal Global Law School – Sonipat, VIT Law School – Chennai, RGSOIPL – IIT Kharagpur, UPES Dehradun, Alliance University Law School – Bangalore and Sharda University – Greater Noida accept LSAT—India scores for admissions.

The LSAT—India exam, offered by the global Law School Admission Council (LSAC), assesses critical-thinking, logical reasoning, problem-solving skills and traits that are needed for successful law practitioners.

Dan Bernstine, President of LSAC, said: “We are happy to see that partnering law colleges have started benefitting from the pan-India reach of LSAT—India. A diverse candidate pool to select from has given colleges a wider range of candidates to select the best and the most appropriate candidates for the study of law.”

Divyalok Sharma, Director of Client Development, Pearson VUE India added: “LSAT—India has started making a mark on candidates as test-takers have acknowledged it as a test devoid of any bias towards candidates of any particular background. As the test does not have a memory-based section it reduces the burden of cramming and memorising facts, a fact highly appreciated by the candidates.”

LSAT—India : All You Need is Reason™

The LSAT—India is a test of reasoning and reading skills, not a test to see whether you happened to have memorized the right facts or equations. The theory behind the LSAT—India is democratic and inclusive. It holds that students acquire critical thinking skills over their educational lifetimes, and that these skills are the most important for the study of law. Good critical thinking skills may be acquired in virtually any educational programme anywhere so long as it is rigorous and of high quality. Thus, no training in any specific field or set of fields is required to do well on the LSAT—India. The test rewards candidates with generalised abilities adaptable to a variety of circumstances.
