Understanding the LAT Schedule — Key Dates Explained
1. Online Registration Deadline
This is the last date to apply for the LAT on the HEC ETC portal. Late applications are not accepted, so register well before the deadline. You will need your CNIC/B-Form, a recent photograph, and the test fee deposit slip.
2. Roll Number Slip Date
HEC issues roll number slips on this date. Download and print your slip from the ETC portal — it contains your test center, reporting time, and seat number. Bring your original CNIC and printed slip to the test center; entry is not allowed without them.
3. Test Date
The LAT exam day — 75 MCQs (75 marks) plus essay and personal statement (25 marks), total 100 marks. Report at your center at least 30 minutes before the reporting time on your slip.
4. Result Announcement
HEC announces results on the ETC portal, usually 7–10 days after the test. You need 50 out of 100 marks to pass. Your LAT score is valid for admission to HEC-recognized LLB programs.
How Many Times Is LAT Conducted in a Year?
HEC typically conducts the LAT 3 to 5 times per year. In 2026, five tests were scheduled (January, April, June, August, and November). If you miss one test or want to improve your score, you can appear again in the next scheduled test — there is no limit on attempts.
