HEC Issues Roll Number Slips for Law Admission Test (LAT) 2026, Exam on September 6

The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has officially released roll number slips for candidates who registered to appear in the Law Admission Test (LAT), a mandatory entry requirement for students seeking admission into undergraduate law programs across Pakistan.

As per the latest notification, the LAT will be conducted on September 6, 2026. Candidates who completed their registration for the September session can now log into their accounts on the Education Testing Council (ETC) portal to retrieve and download their slips ahead of the test date.

What Is the LAT and Why It Matters

The Law Admission Test is a standardized entry test that Pakistani universities and law colleges use as part of the admission criteria for five-year LLB and other undergraduate law programs. Since HEC oversees the testing process through the ETC, a valid roll number slip is a mandatory requirement for entry into the test centre on exam day — candidates will not be permitted to sit the paper without it.

How to Download the LAT Roll Number Slip

Downloading the slip is a straightforward process through the official HEC ETC portal. Candidates should follow these steps:

1. Go to the official HEC ETC portal at etc.hec.gov.pk.
2. Log in using the same credentials (email/CNIC and password) created at the time of LAT registration.
3. Navigate to the LAT application or the "registered tests" section of the dashboard.
4. Locate the option to download the roll number slip and save it in PDF format.
5. Print a physical copy to carry to the test centre, since most centres do not accept digital-only copies.

Details Candidates Should Verify on the Slip

Before test day, candidates are strongly advised to carefully review every detail printed on their roll number slip, including:

• Full name and father's name as per CNIC/B-Form
• Allotted test centre and its complete address
• Reporting time and exam start time
• Roll number and registration/application number
• Any special instructions issued by HEC for test day

Any discrepancy in these details should be reported to HEC well before the exam date to avoid last-minute complications.

What If You Can't Download Your Slip?

Candidates who face technical issues while retrieving their roll number slip should first double-check their ETC account login details, including their registered email address and password. If the problem persists, HEC has advised affected candidates to reach out through the official ETC portal's support or contact channels for assistance rather than waiting until the last day.

Test Day Guidelines

Candidates are required to reach their allotted test centres well ahead of the reporting time mentioned on the slip and must carry a printed copy of the roll number slip along with a valid original CNIC or B-Form. HEC has instructed all applicants to follow every test-day requirement communicated through the ETC portal, including guidelines on permitted stationery and prohibited items.
