LNAT Test, being the world’s leading law school admissions test administered by the LNAT Consortium based at the University of Oxford, is a standardised test of reading comprehension and logical thinking.

The deadline of 30th April applies to the remaining 25% of seats in each programme. JGLS has an approved intake of 300 seats (5 sections of 60 seats each) in all three 5-year law programs.
