- Educational Qualification: A pass in Intermediate (Class 12) or an equivalent examination from a recognised state or central board.
- Minimum Marks: At least 45% aggregate in 10+2 for General and OBC students, and 40% for SC/ST students.
- Appearing Students: Students currently in their Class 12 final year can also apply provisionally. Admission will depend on meeting the required marks in your board result.
Stream eligibility: Students from Science, Commerce, and Arts streams are all eligible. There is no stream restriction for the 5-year integrated LLB.
Category-wise Minimum Marks
The minimum percentage required in your qualifying examination varies by category. The table below shows the requirement for each.
| Category | 3-Year LLB (Graduation %) | 5-Year LLB (10+2 %) |
|---|---|---|
| General (UR) | 45% | 45% |
| OBC | 45% (42% with relaxation certificate) | 45% |
| SC | 40% | 40% |
| ST | 40% | 40% |
SC and ST students must submit their caste certificate issued by a competent authority at the time of document verification during counselling. The OBC relaxation applies only to students with a valid certificate issued under Telangana government norms.
Age Limit and Number of Attempts
There is no upper age limit for TS LAWCET 2027. Whether you are a fresh graduate appearing immediately after college or a working professional returning to study law after years, you are eligible to apply regardless of your age. The same applies to the 5-year LLB — there is no minimum or maximum age restriction.
There is also no limit on the number of attempts. You can appear in TS LAWCET every year until you qualify and secure admission to the course of your choice. This makes TS LAWCET one of the more flexible law entrance exams in the country in terms of age and attempt policy.
Qualifying Marks in the Entrance Test
Meeting the educational eligibility is the first hurdle. The second is scoring the minimum qualifying marks in the TS LAWCET entrance test itself. A student who does not meet the entrance test cut-off will not receive a rank and cannot participate in counselling.
| Category | Minimum Marks in Entrance Test | Total Marks |
|---|---|---|
| General / OBC | 42 marks (35%) | 120 |
| SC / ST | No minimum prescribed | 120 |
The TS LAWCET question paper consists of 120 questions carrying one mark each, with no negative marking. General and OBC students must answer at least 42 questions correctly to qualify. SC and ST students will receive a rank even if they score below 42, provided they meet the educational eligibility criteria.
