Questions related to AP LAWCET

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to AP LAWCET ?

Hey! With your AP LAWCET rank of 3992 in the SC category, here’s an idea of your chances for the colleges you chose:

DNR College, Bhimavaram – This one might be tough as SC closing ranks are usually lower than your rank.

JC College, Guntur – Your rank is within a reasonable range, so chances are good.

GSK College, Rajahmundry – You have a fair chance here too.

Siddhartha College, Vijayawada – Your rank is competitive for this college.

It’s a good idea to add a few more colleges in your web options to improve your chances. Also, keep checking the seat allotment updates and be ready to confirm any seat that comes up.

With AP LAWCET 2025 rank 327 , BC-B category, male candidate, you are likely to get admission in BALLB or BBALLB at VIT-AP School of Law, Guntur .

The expected cutoff for BC-B category is usually higher than your rank , so you have a good chance. Make sure to participate in the counselling process and select VIT-AP as one of your preferred colleges.

Hi,

A rank of 3202 in AP LAWCET is decent and may help you secure a seat in government or aided law colleges, especially if you fall under a reservation category like BC, SC, ST, or EWS. However, whether you get a free seat (full tuition waiver) depends on your category and financial background. Government law colleges have low fees anyway, but tuition fee waivers are typically given to economically weaker students (EWS/BPL) or those eligible under fee reimbursement schemes in Andhra Pradesh.

All the best!

With 2403 rank in AP LAWCET and being from the BCB category, you have a good chance of getting admission in a decent private law college. In the previous year, students with similar ranks got seats in colleges like Velagapudi Durgamba Siddhartha Law College.

Your rank is within the usual cutoff range for BCB category, so you should be able to get a seat in counselling. Just make sure to fill your choices carefully during the counselling process.

With an AP LAWCET rank of 889 in the open category, you have a solid chance of getting admission into several well-known law colleges in Andhra Pradesh. This rank is considered competitive for both three-year and five-year LLB programs in many private and semi-aided institutions across the state. While top government law colleges may have slightly lower closing ranks, your score still gives you good scope in the counselling process.

Colleges like All Saints Christian Law College in Visakhapatnam and Anantha College of Law in Tirupati have previously admitted candidates with ranks close to or above yours. These colleges are known to accept students with ranks up to around 900 in the open category, depending on seat availability and category-wise distribution during counselling rounds.

To improve your chances, you should register for the counselling process and fill in as many reasonable choices as possible, ranking them according to your preference. Keep a close watch on seat allotment updates across rounds, as many good colleges tend to have vacancies in the later phases. If you stay consistent and flexible, there’s a high probability that you’ll secure a seat in a good institution with this rank.

All the best!
