In Pakistan, the Law Admission Test (LAT) is conducted by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) for admission into undergraduate law programs offered by public and private universities. The LAT assesses a candidate’s aptitude and knowledge in various areas relevant to the field of law.

Here is a general overview of the pattern of the LAT in Pakistan, based on information available as of my last knowledge update in September 2021. Please note that there may have been changes since then, so it’s always best to refer to the HEC or the official sources for the most up-to-date information:

1. Format: The LAT is a computer-based test (CBT) conducted online.
2. Sections: The test consists of three sections:a. Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs): This section typically includes questions related to English language proficiency, legal reasoning, general knowledge, and basic mathematics. The number of questions and time allotted for this section may vary.b. Essay Writing: Candidates are required to write an essay on a given topic within a specified time limit. This section assesses the candidate’s writing skills and ability to articulate ideas clearly.c. Personal Statement: Candidates are required to write a personal statement reflecting their interest in the field of law and motivation for pursuing a legal career.
3. Scoring: The LAT is usually scored on a scale of 100, with each section contributing to the overall score. The exact scoring criteria and weightage for each section may vary.

It’s important to note that the pattern and specific details of the LAT can change over time. To get the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the pattern, syllabus, and other details, I recommend checking the HEC website or contacting the HEC directly for the latest information on the LAT in Pakistan.
