Law Admission Test (LAT) for LLB Degree Programme in Pakistani Universities

The Higher Education Commission is conducting the Law Admission Test (LAT) for admission to LLB degree programmes in Pakistani universities and institutions. This is a standardised entrance examination designed to assess candidates' aptitude and knowledge for legal studies. The test will be held on Saturday, September 06, 2026, and covers multiple sections including English, Islamic Studies, Pakistan Studies, General Knowledge, Mathematics, Vocabulary, and Basic Math, with a total of 300 marks distributed across these areas. Candidates who have completed their Secondary School Certificate (SSC) or equivalent examinations and are awaiting their result are eligible to apply, as are those with higher qualifications. The examination serves applicants nationwide across all recognised Pakistani universities and institutions offering LLB programmes at the federal, provincial, and private levels.

Eligibility criteria require candidates to have obtained an SSC or equivalent qualification with a minimum of 45 percent marks, or to be appearing in the final examination. Applicants must provide valid CNIC or Form B for identity verification and must submit their personal details accurately during registration. The candidate must pay the designated registration fee as specified by the Higher Education Commission. Those applying must ensure their information is verified through the CNIC database and applications with discrepancies will not be processed. Applications can be submitted online through the designated portal at http://lms.hec.gov.pk, with detailed instructions provided for registration, fee payment, and document submission.

Online registration for the test will open on Monday, August 10, 2026, and will remain open until further notification. Detailed application procedures, fee information, and access to the online registration portal are available through http://lms.hec.gov.pk. Candidates are advised to carefully review all instructions regarding personal details, CNIC verification, and fee submission before finalising their applications. The Higher Education Commission will announce the test centre locations and entry roll numbers for selected applicants, with results expected within the specified timeframe. For further assistance, candidates may contact the Higher Education Commission through official channels or refer to the comprehensive guidelines provided on the HEC website.

This is an educational entrance examination administered by HEC, not a traditional procurement tender. It is a national-scope, recurring annual test for law degree admissions across Pakistani universities. The LAT assesses approximately 300 marks across six subject areas and serves thousands of applicants nationally. Registration opens August 10, 2026, with test administration in September 2026. This is a standardised assessment programme rather than a goods/services contract, making it unsuitable for typical commercial bidding.

Who can bid: Candidates must hold SSC or equivalent qualification with minimum 45 percent marks, possess valid CNIC or Form B, and provide verified personal details. Those appearing in final SSC examination may register pending results. Online registration and CNIC-based verification are mandatory; no alternative identity documents are accepted.
