Web Options Close Tonight: AP LAWCET 2026 Phase 1 Seat Allotment on Oct 6

Law aspirants in Andhra Pradesh have only hours left. The AP LAWCET 2026 Phase 1 web option entry closes today, 2 October, and the online certificate verification window shuts at the same time. Miss either one and you will not be counted for the Phase 1 seat allotment on 6 October.

The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) opened web options on 29 September for candidates seeking admission into the 3-year and 5-year LLB programmes. Seats are allotted strictly on the basis of the preferences you enter, so this is the step where your rank actually turns into a college seat.

The deadline double-header you cannot miss

Today, 2 October, closes two windows at once. The web option entry ends, and so does the online certificate verification that has been running since 25 September. Candidates whose verification is incomplete will not be able to proceed to seat allotment at all, even if they filled their options perfectly.

After today, the council gives you one single day, 3 October, to change or reorder the choices you submitted. Use that window wisely. Then the authorities will process the data and declare the Phase 1 seat allotment result on 6 October. Candidates who get a seat must report to their allotted college between 7 and 9 October with their documents.

How to fill your web options in the right order

Log in to the official CAP portal using your registration credentials and select your course type first, 3-year LLB or 5-year LLB, then open the web option entry link.

• Pick your colleges in genuine order of preference, with your most wanted college at the top.
• Do not keep the list short. More choices mean a better chance of getting a seat you like.
• Check every entry once before submitting, then download and save the submitted options form.
• Return on 3 October to reorder anything you rushed through today.

Eligibility check: do you qualify for the 3-year or 5-year LLB?

The rules are simple. For the 3-year LLB, you need a graduation degree with at least 45% marks if you are an OC candidate, 42% for BC candidates, and 40% for SC and ST candidates. For the 5-year LLB, the same percentage cut-offs apply to your Intermediate or equivalent qualification. In both cases, a valid AP LAWCET 2026 rank is mandatory.

Candidates applying through the CAP portal also had to complete Aadhaar-based authentication during registration. If you registered between 24 and 29 September and finished verification, you are clear to fill options today.

Documents to keep ready before reporting on 7 October

Keep your AP LAWCET or PGLCET hall ticket and rank card ready, along with your SSC and Intermediate marks memos. The 3-year LLB applicants will need their degree provisional or original certificate with marks memos. Study certificates from Class 9 onwards, caste and income certificates if applicable, Aadhaar, and special category certificates for PwBD, CAP, NCC, or Sports candidates round out the list. A few passport-size photographs never hurt either.

“Rank alone does not win you a seat. The order in which you fill your options on the portal decides which college you walk into on October 7.”

Reporting runs from 7 to 9 October, and classes are scheduled to begin during that period. If you miss reporting at your allotted college, the seat can go to someone else.

What happens after Phase 1

The Phase 1 counselling is only the start. The council has indicated that the second round of counselling will begin in mid-October 2026. Candidates who skip Phase 1 options, or who want a better college than their first allotment, should watch the official CAP portal for the Phase 2 schedule announcement.

This is the final stretch of law admissions for the year. Enter your choices before the portal closes tonight, review them tomorrow, and keep your documents ready for the 7 October reporting window.

The college admission alerts section tracks deadlines like this across India. If you are watching other law entrances, the MH CET 3-year LLB Round 4 merit list covered Maharashtra’s latest admission round, and students tracking national-level exam timelines should watch the CAT 2026 correction window as an example of how tight this season’s deadlines are running.
