There is some mis-information on the internet Regarding GAT.

GAT is not for students of LLB 5 Years who have already taken the LAT Test and passed with 50% Marks.

LAT is Law admission test is based on the General Information you may have learned in your previous education or General Every daily life.

GAT is based on the information from Previously You may have read in your Graduate Classes including but not limited to previous education or General Every daily life.

Note: There two Types for GAT.

1. The GAT that is done to get License from Pakistan Bar Council of Pakistan is called Law-GAT.

2. GAT is also conducted to continue study into further classes after Graduation such as M.Phil. It may have different requirements but this test is conducted by NTS (National Testing Service) while both of them have a requirement of 50% to pass this test.

Student should make sure:

Always check with your University for their requirement before applying as some have different requirements.

Always make sure that you have the necessary documents while registration and during the test. Because if you are missing any required document on the time of any of these you will be disqualified from the test according to the rules stated by HEC and NTS about these tests.

Always provide a clear copy of documents and clear readable scans for registration with the current picture with blue background.

We have seen students get disqualified due to these reasons or their results were not announced.

There are no recommended books that Guarantees your success in this test. But there are books that are great as helping material for these tests but even these books should be combined with some more study materials. These books are very bulky as they can contain more than 500 Pages of MCQs. Choose Wisely.

LAT and GAT both are the tests introduced to stop fake degree holders.
