A score above 100 marks can be considered a good score in the TS LAWCET exam 2026. Candidates scoring above 100 generally have strong chances of securing admission into top law colleges in Telangana, especially in the open category. A score between 90 and 100 can also help candidates secure admission in reputed private and government-aided law colleges.
The difficulty level of the examination plays a major role in determining the TS LAWCET cut-off every year. If the paper is easier, the cut-offs may increase. On the other hand, a difficult paper results in lower closing ranks and reduced cutoff marks.
