LSAT-India Discontinued for 2025 Admission Session

The Law School Admission Council (LSAC) has announced that it will discontinue the LSAT—India exam starting from the 2025 admission cycle. This decision means that the LSAT—India will no longer be among the prominent law entrance exams available for students seeking admission to law programs in India. 
 

The LSAT—India was a standardized test used by several prominent law schools across the country for their admission processes. Notable institutions that relied on LSAT—India scores included:

- Jindal Global Law School (JGLS): Recognized as one of India's top law schools, JGLS offered various undergraduate and postgraduate law programs and accepted LSAT—India scores for admissions.  JGLS now has its onw entrance exam- LNAT for its intake.
- Alliance University: Located in Bengaluru, the Alliance School of Law used LSAT—India scores for admitting students into its law courses. 
- GD Goenka University: The School of Law at GD Goenka University in Gurgaon also considered LSAT—India scores for its admissions. 
- Bennett University: Situated in Greater Noida, Bennett University's School of Law accepted LSAT—India scores for its law programs. 
- Asian Law College: Based in Noida, this institution utilized LSAT—India scores for its law admissions. 

LSAC's decision to discontinue the LSAT—India was a business decision, and as of now, there are no plans to introduce a new law entrance exam in India. 

For students and parents, this change means that alternative entrance exams will need to be considered for law school admissions. It's essential to check with individual law schools to understand their updated admission criteria and the entrance exams they will accept moving forward.

For those who have previously taken the LSAT—India, it's crucial to retain your scorecards, as they may still be valid for up to five years, depending on the institution's policies. However, it's advisable to confirm with the specific law colleges regarding the acceptance of past LSAT—India scores. 

In summary, with the discontinuation of the LSAT—India from 2025 onwards, aspiring law students should stay informed about the admission requirements of their preferred law schools and prepare accordingly for alternative entrance examinations.
