LSAT--India, the test with a difference

LSAT—India is a standardised test of reading and verbal reasoning skills designed by the USA–based Law School Admission Council (LSAC) for use by law schools in India. LSAT--India tests basic skill set required for a candidates' success in law schools and then as a future lawyer.

The test aims at evaluating candidates on following sections:--

2 sections on logical reasoning
1 section on analytical reasoning
1 section on reading comprehension

Going by the sections one can very well state that the test stands out as a neutral test. The idea of having a neutral test is to avoid any undue advantages to any set of test takers. Also, the test aims at rating individuals on a relevant skills basis. Sections like General Knowledge don't feature in LSAT--India as such sections have little bearing on the law relevant aptitude of a candidate.
