Today is the last day to register for the final phase of AP LAWCET 2026 counselling. The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) opened second-phase registration on October 26, and the window closes on October 28, 2026. The phase covers both the Andhra Pradesh Law Common Entrance Test (AP LAWCET) and the postgraduate version, AP PGLCET, and it is the last counselling round for this year’s law admissions in the state.
This round is meant for two groups: candidates who qualified in the entrance exam but did not take part in the first phase, and candidates who took part earlier but did not get a seat. It covers admission to three-year LLB and five-year LLB programmes, along with LLM programmes, at participating law colleges across Andhra Pradesh.
What happens after registration
Online certificate verification runs alongside registration and continues until October 29. Candidates should check that their uploaded certificates have been verified, since unverified documents can hold up the later steps.
Web option entry opens today as well. From October 28 to October 30, registered candidates can log in and list their preferred colleges and courses in order. APSCHE has kept October 31 open for changing those options. The order matters here, because seats are allotted against the preferences on record, and a college left off the list cannot be allotted later.
The seat allotment result for this phase is scheduled for November 4. Candidates who get a seat must then complete self-reporting and report to the allotted college between November 5 and November 7.
How to register
Registration is done through the official Common Admissions Portal. Candidates need to complete authentication, enter their application details, upload the required certificates and pay the processing fee if it applies. One point worth noting: candidates who already registered and paid the fee in Phase 1 do not need to pay again for this round.
Before locking options, it helps to have the paperwork ready. The admission documents checklist covers the certificates and identity proofs that counselling rounds usually ask for. Candidates still weighing which college to put first can also work through how to choose a university in India before the option window closes on October 30.
Because this is the final phase, there is no later round to fall back on. Candidates who qualify and want a law seat this year need to finish registration today and then use the option window that follows.
