LSAT—India different from the LSAT®

The LSAT—India is an admissions test customised for Indian law schools - brought by The Law School Admission Council, USA and Pearson VUE. The LSAT—India includes the same question types as the LSAT, but it is shorter and scores are reported on a different scale. The LSAT—India does not include a writing sample, while the LSAT does. LSAT scores are used for admission to many law schools in the US, Canada and Australia, while LSAT—India scores are used only within India. For each year's admission cycle, you must sit for the LSAT—India given in that year.
