⚖️ LSAT Entrance Examination (LSAT–India)

Global Law Education Gateway. Critical Thinking. Analytical Excellence.

LSAT–India (Law School Admission Test – India) is an international-standard law entrance examination designed to assess advanced critical thinking and reasoning skills required for legal education. Unlike traditional syllabus-based exams, LSAT focuses on how a student thinks, not what the student memorises.

LSAT–India (எல்எஸ்ஏடி – இந்தியா) என்பது சட்டக் கல்விக்குத் தேவையான தர்க்க சிந்தனை, பகுத்தறிவு மற்றும் வாசிப்பு புரிதல் திறன்களை மதிப்பிடும் சர்வதேச தரத்திலான நுழைவுத் தேர்வாகும். இது memory-based தேர்வு அல்ல; thinking-based தேர்வு.

What is LSAT–India? (Brief Explanation)

LSAT–India is a standardised law entrance test used by several reputed private law schools in India for admission into 5-Year Integrated Law Programs, 3-Year LLB Programs, and LLM Programs.
The test pattern is adapted from the global LSAT conducted by LSAC (USA), ensuring international benchmarking.

LSAT–India என்பது இந்தியாவில் சட்டக் கல்விக்காக நடத்தப்படும் internationally benchmarked நுழைவுத் தேர்வாகும். தேர்வில் சட்டப் பாடங்கள் இல்லை; reasoning திறன் மட்டுமே மதிப்பிடப்படும்.

Why LSAT is Different from CLAT & Other Law Exams

LSAT is fundamentally different from CLAT.

LSAT focuses on:

• Logical reasoning

• Analytical thinking

• Reading comprehension

• Decision-making ability

LSAT does NOT test:

• GK

• Current affairs

• Legal syllabus

• Mathematics

👉 LSAT = How you think
👉 CLAT = What you know + how you reason

தமிழ் விளக்கம்:
LSAT என்பது புத்தகத்தை மனப்பாடம் செய்வதை சோதிக்காது.
மாணவர் எப்படி சிந்திக்கிறார் என்பதையே சோதிக்கும்.
