SLAT Expected Topics 2027

This paper's question analysis is based on the research performed on the SLAT exam 2024, SLAT 2023, SLAT 2022, and SLAT 2021 papers. So, let's check each section and understand the number of questions that can be asked.

SLAT Important Topics for Logical Reasoning 2027

Here is the list of important topics for the logical reasoning section:  

• Puzzle
• Number series
• Assertion and Reason
• Statement and conclusion
• Strengthening and conclusion
• Analogy
• Syllogisms
• Visual Reasoning
• Odd one out

Question 1

All doctors are intelligent. Some intelligent people are honest. No honest person is corrupt.

Which of the following conclusions follows?

(a) Some doctors are honest
(b) No doctor is corrupt
(c) Some intelligent people are not corrupt
(d) All honest people are intelligent

Answer: (c)

Explanation: From "some intelligent people are honest" and "no honest person is corrupt," we can conclude that those honest intelligent people are definitely not corrupt — so some intelligent people are not corrupt. Option (a) cannot be confirmed since "some intelligent are honest" doesn't mean doctors are. Option (b) goes too far. Option (d) reverses the original statement.

Mentor tip: SLAT syllogism questions typically use 2–3 statements. Test each conclusion by elimination, not assumption.

Question 2

In a row of 10 students, Priya is 4th from the left and Rahul is 7th from the right. How many students sit between them?

(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) 2
(d) 3

Answer: (a)

Explanation: Priya is at position 4 from the left. Rahul is 7th from the right = 4th from the left (10 − 7 + 1 = 4). They occupy the same position — meaning they are the same person, or no one sits between them. In SLAT, this is a deliberate trap to test careful reading.

Mentor tip: Always convert "from the right" to an absolute position before computing distance.

SLAT Important Topics for Legal Reasoning 2027

Questions are divided into 3 categories under this section

• Principle and fact-based questions
• Facts without principle (situation-based) 
• Legal Knowledge and Legal Aptitude

Important topics you must focus on are as follows: 

• Contract Law
• Tort
• Criminal Law
• Constitutional Law
• Miscellaneous 

Question 3

Principle: A person is liable for negligence if they owe a duty of care, breach that duty, and the breach causes damage to another.

Facts: Sunita, a school bus driver, was speeding to make up for a late start. The bus skidded and a student, Mehul, broke his arm.

Is Sunita liable for negligence?

(a) No, because the road was wet
(b) Yes, because she owed Mehul a duty of care and breached it by speeding
(c) No, because she was trying to help students reach school
(d) Yes, but only if the school authorised the speed

Answer: (b)

Explanation: All three elements of negligence are present — duty (driver to student), breach (speeding), and resulting damage (broken arm). The motive to reach school on time is irrelevant; negligence is judged by conduct, not intention.

Mentor tip: SLAT legal reasoning rewards mechanical application of the stated principle. Never import moral arguments or sympathy — apply the rule as written.

Question 4

Principle: Whoever makes a false statement to a public servant, knowing it to be false, commits the offence of providing false information.

Facts: Arjun tells a police officer that he saw the accused at the crime scene, but he is not sure whether what he saw was accurate. He genuinely believed he was telling the truth.

Has Arjun committed an offence?

(a) Yes, because his statement was incorrect
(b) No, because he genuinely believed his statement to be true
(c) Yes, because the police were misled
(d) No, because police statements are not binding

Answer: (b)

Explanation: The principle requires knowing the statement to be false. Arjun had a genuine belief in what he said, so the knowledge element is absent. A mistaken but honest statement is not an offence under this principle.

Mentor tip: The word "knowing" in a SLAT principle is always a load-bearing word. Highlight qualifiers like "knowingly," "intentionally," and "reasonably" before attempting any answer.

SLAT Important Topics for Analytical Reasoning 2027

This very important section includes questions based on elementary mathematics and analytical reasoning. Important topics to focus on are as follows: 

• Arithmetic Reasoning
• Time, speed and distance, linear equations, averages, simple interest, compound interest, and percentages
• Directions
• Blood relations
• Series
• Clocks and Calendar
• Data arrangement
• Coding-Decoding
• Order and Ranking

Question 5

A train covers 240 km at a speed of 60 km/h. How long will it take to cover the same distance at 80 km/h?

(a) 4 hours
(b) 3 hours
(c) 3.5 hours
(d) 2.5 hours

Answer: (b)

Explanation: Time = Distance ÷ Speed = 240 ÷ 80 = 3 hours. The original speed is a distractor — once you have distance and new speed, it is a single-step calculation.

Mentor tip: SLAT arithmetic questions rarely require more than two steps. If your calculation is getting complex, recheck whether you misread the question.

Question 6

Pointing to a photograph, Neha says, "He is the son of my grandfather's only son." How is the person in the photograph related to Neha?

(a) Uncle
(b) Brother
(c) Cousin
(d) Father

Answer: (b)

Explanation: Neha's grandfather's only son = Neha's father. The son of Neha's father = Neha's brother.

Mentor tip: Blood-relation questions almost always have a simpler chain than they appear. Write out each relationship one step at a time on your scratch paper — never try to solve them in your head.

SLAT Important Topics for Reading Comprehension 2027

You will be given passages of 200-300 words on certain topics discussed below. Topics we found in reading comprehension last year are as follows: 

• Misinformation in Media
• Covid 19 and Nation status (The Hindu) 
• Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act (The Hindu) 
• Rudyard Kipling and colonialism, Maternity benefit act, the downside of technological changes on the environment. 

From these passages, your reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar and implementation skills will be tested.

(Sample passage — 80 words)

Social media platforms have become primary sources of news for millions of Indians, particularly among those under 30. While this democratises information access, it also accelerates the spread of unverified claims. Researchers note that false information spreads six times faster than accurate news on major platforms. Regulatory frameworks have struggled to keep pace, with legislation often trailing technology by several years. Critics argue that self-regulation by platforms has proven insufficient, calling for independent oversight bodies.

Question 7

According to the passage, why is social media as a news source problematic?

(a) It is accessible only to young people
(b) Platforms are entirely unregulated
(c) False information spreads far faster than accurate news
(d) Legislation has completely failed

Answer: (c)

Explanation: The passage explicitly states that false information spreads six times faster than accurate news. Option (b) overstates — the passage says regulation has struggled, not that it is absent. Option (d) similarly overstates "completely failed."

Mentor tip: RC questions in SLAT test whether you can distinguish between what the passage says and what sounds reasonable. Stick strictly to the text.

Question 8

The author's primary concern in the passage is:

(a) Promoting independent journalism
(b) Highlighting the gap between regulatory speed and technological change
(c) Arguing that social media should be banned
(d) Praising researchers who study misinformation

Answer: (b)

Explanation: The passage's central argument is that regulation has struggled to keep pace with technology, and self-regulation has proven insufficient. The author never calls for a ban or promotes journalism directly.

Mentor tip: "Primary concern" questions ask for the main argument, not a supporting detail. Always re-read the last two sentences of a passage — authors typically land their core point there.

Section 5: General Knowledge

Question 9

Which Indian institution became the first to receive the status of "Institution of Eminence" (IoE) under the UGC framework?

(a) IIT Bombay
(b) NLSIU Bangalore
(c) IIT Delhi
(d) University of Delhi

Answer: (a)

(Along with IIT Delhi and IISc Bangalore, IIT Bombay was among the first batch of public institutions accorded IoE status.)

Explanation: The IoE scheme grants selected institutions regulatory and financial autonomy to help them achieve global rankings. It is relevant to law aspirants since questions on education policy and higher education regulation have appeared in SLAT GK.

Mentor tip: SLAT GK frequently links static facts (like government schemes) to current events. For IoE, know both which institutions hold the status and why the status matters.

Question 10

The term "Waqf" — frequently in news in 2024–25 due to the Waqf (Amendment) Bill — refers to:

(a) A type of constitutional amendment procedure
(b) A permanent dedication of property for religious or charitable purposes under Islamic law
(c) A government scheme for minority welfare
(d) A judicial committee for land disputes

Answer: (b)

Explanation: Waqf is a legal concept under Islamic law where a person permanently dedicates property (movable or immovable) for religious, educational, or charitable use. The Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2024 was widely debated and is a strong SLAT GK candidate given its legislative and legal dimensions.

Mentor tip: When a bill or law is debated in Parliament for more than two sessions, treat it as a near-certain GK topic for any law entrance exam that year.
