- The counselling registration is expected to begin in the first week of August 2026.

- Seats are allotted based on your TS LAWCET rank, web options submitted, and category.
- There are approximately 3,866 seats (3-year LLB) and 1,812 seats (5-year LLB) available through TS LAWCET 2026 counselling.
