LSAT—India 2015 date announced

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.”
