Based on the usual schedule, the registration process for LSAT 2026 is expected to begin in October 2025, with the test conducted in two cycles – January 2026 and May 2026. The LSAT—India is a national-level entrance examination used for admission into undergraduate and postgraduate law programs (such as B.A. LL.B, B.B.A. LL.B, and LL.M) offered by various LSAC-affiliated law colleges across India.
The LSAT 2026 exam evaluates candidates on their critical thinking, analytical reasoning, logical reasoning, and reading comprehension skills rather than rote knowledge of law. It is conducted entirely in online (Remote-Proctored) mode and follows a multiple-choice question pattern. Candidates interested in pursuing law degrees at reputed private law universities must qualify in LSAT 2026, as their scores are widely accepted across numerous institutions in India.
Applicants can register for the LSAT 2026 through the official LSAC Global India website, where they can also access their LSAT 2026 admit cards, test slot information, and scorecards.
