LAT Result: Pass Marks, Validity and Next Steps

HEC publishes LAT results on its portal a few weeks after each test. A score of 50 or more out of 100 is a pass.

How to check your LAT result

Go to the HEC ETC portal etc.hec.gov.pk, the same account you used to apply.
Open the results section HEC also publishes result lists on its website when a result is announced.
Search with your roll number or CNIC and save or print the result for your admission file.

Pass marks

The pass mark is 50 out of 100, counting Part I (75 MCQs) and Part II (essay 15, personal statement 10) together. A pass makes you eligible for five-year LLB admission; it does not rank you. Universities build their own merit lists.

Result validity

LAT results have been reported as valid for two years. Because HEC has revised the validity period before, confirm the current rule before using a result from an earlier year.

If you passed

Keep a printed and a digital copy of the result.
Check admission dates and merit criteria for each university you are applying to.
If your score is close to 50 and you are aiming for a competitive university, consider sitting the next test.

If you did not pass

Most students who miss the pass mark lose marks in two places: the written part, and one or two MCQ sections they did not revise. Take a full mock test, look at the subject-wise result, and rebuild your plan from the preparation hub.
