a brief about the national-level entrance examination process NLSAT

 The NLSAT paper is divided into two parts of which Part A is a qualifier which means your score in Part A will qualify part B section of your paper to be evaluated. The following applies to General Category/EWS category.

A candidate seeking admission in the General Category/EWS category must secure a score above the 75th percentile in both Parts A and B respectively of the NLSAT-LLB, as well as in the aggregate score of Parts A and B.

Part A is the multiple choice section with Passage Comprehension based questions including Current Affairs, Legal reasoning (fact Principle based) problem, English language comprehension etc. Total marks allotted is 75 marks and to qualify you must secure a score above the 75th percentile in Part A. This means that you must be in the top 25% of the total number of candidates who appeared for Part A of the Examination. 

Say you secured the required percentile, yay! 

From amongst eligible candidates, Part B of the answer scripts will be evaluated in a ratio of 1:5 based on performance in Part A. In other words, five candidates per seat available will qualify for evaluation of Part B of the examination.

Part B is the descriptive section of the paper
