Last Day Today: AP LAWCET 2026 Final Phase Registration Closes Oct 28, Allotment Nov 4

Law aspirants in Andhra Pradesh, this is your last chance. The AP LAWCET 2026 final phase registration closes today, 28 October. If you qualified in the exam but missed the first round, you have only hours left to sign up for the second and final round of counselling.

The Andhra Pradesh Higher Education Department opened final phase registration on 27 October. The window is short by design, and waiting till the evening is a risk no candidate should take.

What this round covers

This round is the last counselling phase for law admissions in Andhra Pradesh for the 2026 session. It covers the 3-year LLB and 5-year LLB programmes through AP LAWCET, and the LLM programme through AP PGLCET. Seats are filled in government and private law colleges across the state.

Two groups of candidates can take part. The first group is students who qualified in AP LAWCET or AP PGLCET 2026 but did not register in the first phase at all. They can register fresh in this round. The second group is candidates who registered in Phase 1 but did not get a seat. They can join the final phase again, and they do not need to pay the registration fee a second time.

This is the final round. There is no third phase after this one, so a missed registration today means waiting for the next academic year.

AP LAWCET 2026 final phase dates

The schedule for this round is tight. Keep these dates in front of you while you apply:

• Final phase registration: closes 28 October 2026
• Online certificate verification: underway, till 29 October 2026
• Web options entry: 28 to 30 October 2026
• Change or reorder of web options: 31 October 2026
• Final phase seat allotment: 4 November 2026
• Reporting at allotted college: 5 to 7 November 2026

Certificate verification is already running and ends on 29 October. Unverified candidates are not considered for allotment.

How to register for the final phase

Registration happens on the official Common Admissions Portal. Follow these steps:

1. Go to the official portal at cap.apcfss.in.
2. Open the AP LAWCET or AP PGLCET 2026 final phase registration link.
3. Log in with your hall ticket number and date of birth, or register fresh if you are a first-time applicant in this counselling.
4. Fill in your details and upload the documents the portal asks for.
5. Pay the registration fee if it applies to you. Phase 1 candidates who already paid do not pay again.
6. Submit the form and save the confirmation page for your records.

Once registration is done, move straight to web options. The option entry window opens today itself, 28 October, and runs till 30 October. List your preferred colleges and courses in the order you actually want them. Allotment follows your rank, your reservation category, seat availability, and the order of preferences you submit.

Students tracking other law admissions this season should note the pattern is the same everywhere: options decide allotment, so a careless preference list costs seats. The earlier AP LAWCET 2026 Phase 1 round worked the same way, with web options closing before allotment on 6 October. Law aspirants also watching national exams can check the CLAT 2027 registration deadline of 31 October while they wait for this allotment.

What to keep ready before you apply

Keep your AP LAWCET or AP PGLCET 2026 hall ticket and rank card ready. You will also need your Class 10 and Intermediate marksheets, transfer certificate, caste certificate if applicable, income certificate, and Aadhaar card. Scan them clearly before you start, because a blurry upload can delay verification.

One more point matters. The 31 October window lets you change or reorder choices, but not add a college you forgot. Build the list properly during 28 to 30 October itself, and put the college you genuinely want first.

After allotment: reporting from 5 November

The final phase seat allotment comes out on 4 November. Allotted candidates must report to their colleges between 5 and 7 November with original documents and the fee. Missing the reporting window means losing the seat, and with no further round left, that seat will not come back.

For the full schedule and any change in dates, check the official AP LAWCET counselling portal rather than social media forwards. The portal notice is the final word.
