PI-WAT (Personal Interaction and Writing Ability Test)

Once the SET results are declared, SSLA will declare its shortlist of candidates eligible for the second step - PI WAT. The shortlist is dependent only on the SET and the cutoff varies year to year. The PI-WAT (Personal Interaction and Writing Ability Test) will be conducted at SSLA, Pune.

The Personal Interaction will be followed by a Writing Ability Test, which is a short subjective-answer based test.

Based on the combined scores of SET and PI-WAT, the Merit Lists will be published.
