LNAT-UK: Mandatory Admissions Test for JGLS

The LNAT-UK is a globally recognized, standardized admissions examination assessing critical thinking and advanced English language skills. The test comprises two sections: Section A, which consists of 42 multiple-choice questions based on complex texts, and Section B, which is an unscored essay.

The LNAT score primarily reflects performance in Section A and is contextualized within the overall applicant pool. JGLS uses this score solely for admissions purposes and does not require an essay.

Merit-cum-Means-Based Scholarships

LNAT-UK scores are considered for merit-cum-means-based scholarships, which range from 10 percent to 75 percent of tuition fees, determined by merit and parental income.

Upcoming Admission Deadlines

Applicants who missed the initial round are encouraged to apply in the upcoming cycles:

• Early Admission | Second Merit List (March 2026) - Deadline to register and take LNAT-UK: February 28, 2026

Our commitment to excellence defines our law school, and we welcome students who are ready to work hard and make us proud.”

Professor Anand Prakash Mishra, Vice Dean and Director of Law Admissions at JGLS, remarked, “The February 28 Early Admissions Deadline is crucial for every serious law aspirant, as JGLS will fill a minimum 75 percent of its total intake based on this deadline. Studying law at JGLS is a transformative opportunity, and you should not miss it due to a delay in the entrance exam.”
