    AP LAWCET Management Quota Admissions 2025 - High Court Issues Order

    Sukriti SahooUpdated on 19 Nov 2025, 10:04 AM IST

    In a major regulatory move, the Hon’ble High Court has directed that admissions under the 20% Management (Category-B) quota in private unaided law colleges must be strictly controlled by the Competent Authority. The orders, passed in WP No. 16290 of 2007 and WP No. 2105 of 2023, emphasise that the Competent Authority alone can regulate admissions and issue binding guidelines to ensure fairness and transparency.

    Responding to the Court’s directions, the AP State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) has released comprehensive operating guidelines for AP LAWCET 2025 Management Quota admissions. These rules apply to all private unaided minority and non-minority law colleges approved by the BCI.

Universities will not permit students to appear for exams unless their admissions are duly approved.
