AP LAWCET Marks, Qualifying Score, and Rank
AP LAWCET 2026 is a 120-mark exam with 120 MCQs and no negative marking. Your rank depends on your total score; in the event of a tie, marks in specific sections are used as a tiebreaker. Qualifying the exam does not guarantee a seat — your rank relative to other students and the available seats at a given college determines admission. The table below gives an approximate score-to-rank mapping based on previous year trends.
| Score (out of 120) | Expected Rank Band | Admission Chance at ANU Law College (OC) |
|---|---|---|
| 90 – 120 | 1 – 150 | Very high for all categories |
| 75 – 89 | 150 – 500 | High for OC, EWS, and BC categories |
| 60 – 74 | 500 – 1,500 | Moderate; likely for SC; lower for OC |
| 45 – 59 | 1,500 – 5,000 | Low; mainly within ST category seats |
| 42 – 44 | 5,000+ | Qualifying score only; seat at ANU unlikely |
SC and ST students qualify AP LAWCET without a minimum marks requirement. These score-to-rank bands are expected based on previous year trends and will vary with 2026 paper difficulty and the total number of qualifying students.
Factors Affecting AP LAWCET 2026 Cutoff at ANU Law College
The 2026 cutoff for ANU Law College, Guntur may rise or fall compared to previous years due to the following factors:
- Total qualified candidates: A higher number of eligible students increases competition and tends to push closing ranks to lower numbers (more competition per seat).
- Seat intake for 2026: Any change in approved seats at ANU Law College directly shifts the closing rank band.
- Exam difficulty: A harder paper produces a wider score spread, which can shift the rank-to-score relationship for all categories.
- Number of counselling rounds: Vacant seats from early rounds are refilled in later rounds, often at higher (numerically larger) closing ranks, easing admission chances.
- Student preference patterns: If fewer students prioritise ANU Law College in their preference list, closing ranks may rise, making the college easier to access in later rounds.
