Kathmandu University Law School Admissions Test

KULSAT ·
 · Entrance

Every student applying to Kathmandu University School of Law (KUSL) must take the Law School Admission Test, the KULSAT. The KULSAT, which carries 120 marks, is designed as a means to evaluate a student's ability and standard to study law.

The KULSAT assumes no prior knowledge of any particular area. In other words, it does not test any subject matter that you presumably have studied. The KULSAT examines English proficiency (vocabulary and grammar), reading and writing skills, and general knowledge that a lawyer must utilize on a daily basis. The scoring and timing of the test are unique. Examination time allotted for the KULSAT is 120 minutes.
