When Will AP LAWCET 2026 Phase 2 Counselling Begins

AP LAWCET 2026 Phase 2 Counselling: The reporting for Phase 1 of the Andhra Pradesh Law Common Entrance Test (AP LAWCET) 2026 concluded on October 9, 2026. The remaining thousands of 3-year LL.B., 5-year Integrated LL.B., and LL.M. seats are now awaiting the commencement of Phase 2 web counselling. Phase 2 counselling is conducted by the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) to fill the remaining vacant seats in government and private law institutions in the state. Candidates who did not get a seat in Phase 1, wish to upgrade their seat, or did not register in Phase 1 can participate in Phase 2 by logging into the official admission portal at lawcet-sche.aptonline.in. Based on the previous years' counselling schedules, Phase 2 registration may begin in late October, probably after October 20, 2026.
