AP EAPCET 2026 Rank Impact: How Intermediate Recounting & Reverification Boosts Your Admission Chances

The release of the Intermediate Advanced Supplementary Recounting and Reverification results by the Board of Intermediate Education has brought a massive wave of relief for thousands of engineering aspirants across Andhra Pradesh. While a marginal increase of 5 to 15 marks in your board exams might seem minor on a marks memo, it acts as an absolute game-changer when plugged into the AP EAPCET ranking system.

Because Andhra Pradesh calculates final engineering ranks using the 75:25 merit formula (75% weightage from the EAPCET entrance score and 25% weightage from IPE core group subjects: Maths, Physics, and Chemistry), an upward revision in your Inter marks will directly skyrocket your final normalized score, pulling your state rank down by thousands of positions.

The Math Behind the Magic: The 75:25 Weightage Impact

To understand why a minor update changes so much, look at how the calculation engine converts your raw performances onto a combined 100-point normalization scale:

Scaled EAPCET Score = Your EAPCET Score /160 \times 75

Scaled IPE Score = Your Core MPC Marks /600 \times 25

When these two values are added together, even a microscopic shift of 0.5 to 1 full point in the cumulative normalized total can cause your rank to jump significantly. This happens because thousands of students tie around the exact same entrance scores, making your board marks the ultimate tie-breaker.

Expected Impact of Revised IPE Marks on AP EAPCET 2026 Ranks

The following detailed analysis highlights how a minor change in your Intermediate percentage alters your expected rank bracket and final admission options:

AP EAPCET Score IPE % Before RC/RV IPE % After RC/RV Expected Rank Before RC/RV Expected Rank After RC/RV Expected Rank Improvement Direct Admission & Counselling Impact
145 95% 97% 1,200 – 1,600 900 – 1,200 High chance to gain 200–400 positions Secures a competitive edge for elite CSE/AI branch seats at top university campuses.
130 92% 94% 4,500 – 5,500 3,800 – 4,700 Significant leap within premium ranks Drastically increases the probability of landing top government or premium private colleges.
120 88% 91% 9,000 – 10,500 7,800 – 9,000 Noticeable shift into the sub-10k bracket Unlocks premium branch options (CSE/ECE) during subsequent counselling rounds.
110 85% 88% 16,000 – 18,000 14,000 – 16,000 Steady rank improvement Considerably increases selection chances in popular, mid-range engineering institutes.
100 82% 85% 28,000 – 31,000 25,000 – 28,000 Helpful push across dense rank ties Opens up vastly superior opportunities in later web option counseling phases.

Note: The figures outlined in the matrix above are illustrative simulations based on historic normalization cycles. The official rank will depend entirely on the final structural parameters computed by the APSCHE evaluation system.

What Candidates Should Do Next

If your Intermediate core marks have increased following the recounting or reverification process, follow these sequential protocols immediately to protect your academic advantage:

  1. Download the Updated Memo: Immediate Action Required, Log onto the official Board of Intermediate Education portal and download your revised marks memorandum showing the updated PCM scores.
  2. Verify Database Syncing: Counselling Portal Check, Access the AP EAPCET admissions portal and verify whether your revised board marks are properly mapped to your EAPCET registration detail.
  3. Track Official APSCHE Notifications: Stay Updated, Monitor updates on the official APSCHE site regarding specific windows or help desks designated for resolving intermediate rank updates.
  4. Re-evaluate Previous Year Cutoffs: Analyze Trends, Compare your newly projected rank bracket against the branch closing cutoffs of top colleges from the past academic cycle.
  5. Restructure Your Web Options: Counseling Preparation, Modify your choice selection list to target more ambitious branches and colleges that match your fresh, upgraded rank profile.

  • Physical attendance at the designated Help Line Centre (HLC) is mandatory for all candidates claiming reservation under the above special categories.

Web Options Entry (Choice Filling)

The Web Options Entry is one of the most crucial stages of AP EAPCET counselling.

After certificate verification, candidates receive login credentials to select their preferred Colleges and Branches.

Candidates should:

  • Arrange colleges in the exact order of preference
  • Give higher priority to dream colleges
  • Include sufficient backup colleges
  • Add a large number of realistic options to improve admission chances

Candidates can add, delete, modify, or rearrange their options until the option entry deadline. Once satisfied, they should freeze and save their choices.

Remember: The counselling software always checks the highest available option based on the candidate’s rank and eligibility.

Mock Seat Allocation

Before the final allotment, APSCHE may publish the Mock Seat Allocation.

The Mock Allotment helps candidates understand:

  • The likely college they may receive.
  • Whether their current options are realistic.
  • If changes are required before the final option freezing.

Candidates who are not satisfied with the mock allotment can modify their web options before the final deadline.

Although the mock allotment is not the final result, it serves as an important indicator for improving option preferences.

AP EAPCET 2026 Seat Allotment

After completion of certificate verification and web option entry, APSCHE releases the Phase 1 Provisional Seat Allotment Results.

The allotment is prepared based on:

  • AP EAPCET Rank
  • Reservation Category
  • Local Area Reservation
  • Candidate’s Web Options
  • Availability of Seats
  • Government Reservation Rules

Candidates allotted a seat should immediately proceed with the next admission steps to avoid losing their allotted seat.

Follow these steps:

  1. Login to the Candidate Portal.
  2. Click on “Seat Allotment”.

  • Downloading the Self-Reporting Acknowledgement

After completing Online Self-Reporting, candidates must physically report to the allotted college along with:

  • Original Certificates
  • Provisional Allotment Order
  • Self-Reporting Receipt
  • Fee Payment Receipt

The allotted college verifies all documents and collects the applicable tuition fee or the minimum prescribed amount as per APSCHE guidelines.

Candidates who fail to report within the specified schedule may lose their allotted seat, and the vacancy may be offered in the subsequent counselling phases.

AP EAPCET 2026 Second Phase Counselling:

The AP EAPCET 2026 Second Phase Counselling provides another opportunity for candidates to secure admission into participating colleges after the completion of the First Phase Counselling. This phase is conducted to fill vacant seats, seats surrendered by candidates, seats vacated due to betterment, and newly approved seats, if any.

Unlike the first phase, the Second Phase follows a different set of rules, especially for candidates seeking betterment or those who did not participate in the earlier round. Every eligible candidate should carefully understand the counselling guidelines before exercising web options.

Who Can Exercise Options in the Second Phase

The following categories of candidates are eligible to participate in the AP EAPCET 2026 Second Phase Counselling:

  • Candidates who were not allotted any seat in the First Phase.
  • Candidates who did not participate in the First Phase counselling.
  • Candidates who completed the First Phase admission process but wish to secure a better college or branch.
  • Candidates who were allotted a seat but did not complete the admission process and wish to participate again, subject to APSCHE guidelines.
  • Fresh eligible candidates, if permitted by APSCHE.

The Second Phase offers candidates another opportunity to improve their admission prospects based on the availability of vacant seats.

Important Notes for Second Phase

Candidates participating in the Second Phase should remember the following important points:

  • All candidates must exercise fresh web options.
  • Web options entered during the First Phase will not be considered.
  • Candidates seeking betterment should carefully select only higher preferred colleges or branches.
  • Seat allotment is purely based on AP EAPCET Rank, reservation, local area, availability of seats, and web option priority.
  • Once upgraded to a new seat, the previously allotted seat is automatically cancelled.
  • If no better seat is allotted, eligible betterment candidates generally retain their previously allotted seat, provided all First Phase admission formalities were completed.

Registration, Processing Fee Payment and Slot Booking

Candidates who did not participate in the First Phase must complete:

  • Online Registration
  • Payment of Processing Fee
  • Slot Booking for Certificate Verification

Candidates who have already completed these steps during the First Phase generally do not have to pay the processing fee again or repeat registration, unless specifically notified by APSCHE.

Fresh candidates should carefully complete the registration process using their AP EAPCET Hall Ticket Number, Registration Number, Rank, and Date of Birth.

Certificate Verification

Candidates who have already completed certificate verification during the First Phase generally need not attend verification again, unless APSCHE specifically requests additional verification.

However, newly registered candidates and candidates with pending or incomplete document verification must attend the allotted Help Line Centre (HLC) along with all original certificates.

After successful verification, candidates become eligible to participate in Web Options Entry.

Exercising Web Options

One of the most important rules of the Second Phase is that all previous web options are deleted by the counselling system.

Every candidate participating in the Second Phase must exercise fresh web options.

Candidates should:

  • Select colleges and branches in the exact order of preference.
  • Include only those colleges they are genuinely willing to join.
  • Betterment candidates should preferably select colleges or branches that are superior to their current allotment.
  • Include a sufficient number of options to improve allotment chances.

Failure to submit fresh web options means the candidate will not be considered for Second Phase seat allotment.

Freezing of Options

After completing web option entry, candidates should carefully review every selected college and branch before the Option Freezing Deadline.

Once the options are frozen:

  • No further modifications are allowed.
  • The counselling software considers only the final saved options for seat allotment.

Candidates are advised to verify the order of preferences carefully before submitting the final options.

Seat Allotment

The Second Phase Seat Allotment is prepared based on:

  • AP EAPCET Rank
  • Reservation Category
  • Local Area Reservation
  • Freshly Exercised Web Options
  • Availability of Vacant Seats
  • Government Reservation Rules

Candidates can check their allotment status by logging into the official counselling portal and downloading the Provisional Allotment Order.

For betterment candidates, if a higher preferred college or branch is allotted, the previous allotment is automatically cancelled, and the new allotment becomes valid.

Payment of Tuition Fee and Self-Reporting

Candidates who receive a seat allotment during the Second Phase must complete the following steps within the prescribed schedule:

  • Pay the Tuition Fee (if applicable).
  • Complete Online Self-Reporting.
  • Download the Self-Reporting Acknowledgement.
  • Print the Provisional Allotment Order.

Failure to complete online self-reporting within the specified dates may result in cancellation of the allotted seat.

Physical Reporting at the Allotted College

After completing online self-reporting, candidates must report physically to the allotted college along with:

  • Original Certificates
  • Provisional Allotment Order
  • Self-Reporting Receipt
  • Tuition Fee Payment Receipt

The college verifies all original documents and completes the admission process.

Only after successful document verification and completion of admission formalities is the candidate’s admission considered confirmed.

Automatic Cancellation of Seat

Candidates opting for betterment should understand an important counselling rule.

If the Second Phase counselling allots a new college or branch, then:

  • The First Phase seat is automatically cancelled.
  • The newly allotted seat becomes the valid admission.
  • The previous seat cannot be reclaimed later.

However, if no better seat is allotted, eligible candidates who completed the First Phase admission process generally continue to retain their earlier allotted seat.

Candidates Satisfied with First Phase Allotment

Candidates who are completely satisfied with their First Phase allotment and do not wish to upgrade are generally not required to participate in the Second Phase.

Such candidates should simply complete all admission formalities at their allotted college and continue their academic admission process.

Cancellation of Admission

Candidates who wish to discontinue their admission after seat allotment must follow the official cancellation procedure prescribed by APSCHE.

Admission cancellation should be completed only through the authorized process within the notified schedule to avoid future complications.

Candidates are advised to carefully read the refund rules and admission cancellation guidelines before submitting any cancellation request.

Updating of Joining Details by Colleges

After candidates report to the allotted colleges, each institution updates the Joining Status on the APSCHE counselling portal.

This confirms that the candidate has:

  • Reported to the college.
  • Submitted original certificates.
  • Completed admission formalities.

The updated joining data helps APSCHE prepare the vacancy position for subsequent counselling rounds.

Important Restriction

Candidates participating in the Second Phase Counselling should remember the following restrictions:

  • First Phase web options will not be carried forward.
  • Fresh web options are mandatory for every participating candidate.
  • Candidates cannot modify options after the freezing deadline.
  • Seat allotment is final for the current counselling phase unless the candidate becomes eligible for a subsequent round as per APSCHE rules.
  • Failure to complete tuition fee payment, self-reporting, or physical reporting within the prescribed schedule may result in cancellation of the allotted seat.

AP EAPCET 2026 Special Round Counselling:

The AP EAPCET 2026 Special Round Counselling is the final centralized online counselling round conducted by the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) to fill the remaining vacant seats after the completion of the First Phase and Second Phase Counselling.

This round offers a last opportunity for eligible candidates who could not secure admission during the earlier counselling phases or who did not participate in the regular counselling process. Since only a limited number of vacant seats are available, candidates should carefully understand the eligibility rules and counselling procedure before participating.

What is AP EAPCET 2026 Special Round Counselling

The Special Round Counselling (also known as the Mop-Up Round) is conducted after the completion of the regular counselling phases to fill seats that remain vacant due to:

  • Candidates not reporting to the allotted college.
  • Cancellation of admissions.
  • Students upgrading to other institutions.
  • Withdrawal of admissions after earlier counselling rounds.
  • Any other unfilled seats notified by APSCHE.

Since the number of available seats is comparatively lower than the previous phases, candidates should carefully exercise their options.

Who is Eligible for the Special Round

The Special Round is generally meant for candidates who do not hold a confirmed seat after the completion of the regular counselling process.

Eligible candidates may include:

  • Candidates who did not participate in the First or Second Phase Counselling.
  • Candidates who were not allotted any seat in the previous counselling rounds.
  • Fresh eligible candidates, if permitted by APSCHE.
  • Candidates who completed all eligibility requirements but remained unallotted.

Candidates who have already secured and joined a college through the First or Second Phase may not be eligible to participate in the Special Round, subject to the official APSCHE guidelines.

Registration and Processing Fee

Candidates who wish to participate in the Special Round Counselling must complete the online registration through the official counselling portal.

Fresh candidates who have not previously registered are generally required to:

  • Complete online registration.
  • Pay the prescribed processing fee.
  • Complete certificate verification, if required.

Candidates should carefully follow the official notification regarding eligibility and fee payment before proceeding with registration.

Certificate Verification

Candidates whose certificates have not been verified during earlier counselling phases must complete the Certificate Verification Process before exercising web options.

They should report to the designated Help Line Centre (HLC) with all the required original certificates as specified by APSCHE.

Candidates whose certificates are already verified may not be required to undergo verification again unless specifically instructed.

Exercising Web Options

After successful registration and certificate verification, eligible candidates can proceed with Web Options Entry.

Candidates should:

  • Select colleges and branches according to their preference.
  • Include as many suitable options as possible.
  • Arrange options carefully in descending order of priority.
  • Verify all selected options before final submission.

Since only vacant seats are available during the Special Round, candidates should exercise realistic preferences to improve their chances of securing admission.

Freezing of Options

After completing web option entry, candidates should carefully review their selected colleges and branches.

Before the prescribed deadline, candidates must:

  • Save all web options.
  • Freeze the final options.
  • Verify the order of preferences.

Once the option entry period closes, no further changes will be permitted.

Special Round Seat Allotment

APSCHE prepares the Special Round Seat Allotment based on:

  • AP EAPCET Rank
  • Reservation Category
  • Local Area Reservation
  • Availability of Vacant Seats
  • Candidate’s Web Options
  • Applicable Government Reservation Rules

Candidates can download the Provisional Allotment Order from the official counselling portal after the allotment results are announced.

Payment of Tuition Fee and Self-Reporting

Candidates who receive a seat during the Special Round must complete:

  • Payment of Tuition Fee (if applicable).
  • Online Self-Reporting.
  • Downloading the Provisional Allotment Order.
  • Printing the Self-Reporting Acknowledgement.

Failure to complete the online self-reporting process within the prescribed schedule may lead to cancellation of the allotted seat.

Reporting at the Allotted College

After completing self-reporting, candidates must report to the allotted college with:

  • Original Certificates
  • Provisional Allotment Order
  • Self-Reporting Receipt
  • Tuition Fee Payment Receipt

The college verifies the candidate’s documents and completes the admission process.

Only after successful document verification and completion of admission formalities is the admission considered confirmed.

Important Points to Remember

Candidates participating in the Special Round Counselling should keep the following points in mind:

  • This is generally the final centralized online counselling round conducted by APSCHE.
  • Only the notified vacant seats are available for allotment.
  • Fresh registration may be allowed for eligible candidates as per the official notification.
  • Candidates should carefully verify their eligibility before participating.
  • Seat allotment depends entirely on merit, reservation rules, availability of seats, and the web options exercised by the candidate.
  • Candidates should complete all admission formalities within the prescribed schedule to avoid cancellation of the allotted seat.

AP EAPCET 2026 Spot Admissions

After the completion of all centralized counselling rounds, Spot Admissions may be conducted by private unaided colleges for any seats that remain vacant, subject to APSCHE and Government guidelines.

Unlike the regular counselling process, Spot Admissions are conducted directly by the respective colleges.

What are Spot Admissions

Spot Admissions are conducted after APSCHE officially concludes all counselling phases.

During this process:

  • Vacant seats are transferred to eligible colleges.

AP LAWCET Counselling 2026 

Candidates who have qualified in AP LAWCET 2026 and want admission to 3-year or 5-year LL.B courses must participate in the counselling process. The counselling generally includes registration, fee payment, certificate verification, web options entry, seat allotment and reporting.

Step 1: Visit the Official Website

Candidates should first visit the official AP LAWCET counselling/admission portal. Look for the link related to AP LAWCET Counselling 2026 and click on the counselling registration option. Before proceeding, candidates should keep their AP LAWCET hall ticket, rank details and certificates ready.

Step 2: Pay the Processing Fee

Candidates need to pay the prescribed counselling processing fee to register for the counselling process. The payment can generally be completed through the online payment options provided on the counselling portal. After successful payment, candidates should save the payment reference/transaction details for future use.

Candidates should make sure that the payment is successful before moving to the registration process.

Step 3: Complete Counselling Registration

After paying the processing fee, candidates need to complete their counselling registration. They may have to enter details such as:

  • AP LAWCET Hall Ticket Number
  • AP LAWCET rank
  • Candidate’s name
  • Date of birth
  • Mobile number
  • Email ID
  • Personal details
  • Academic qualification details
  • Category details
  • Local/non-local status
  • Other required information

Candidates should enter the details carefully because incorrect information may create problems during certificate verification or seat allotment.

Step 4: Upload Required Documents

Candidates must upload the required certificates through the counselling portal. Depending on the candidate’s category and eligibility, documents may include:

  • AP LAWCET 2026 rank card
  • AP LAWCET hall ticket
  • SSC/10th class certificate
  • Intermediate/12th certificate
  • Degree certificates and marks memos, wherever applicable
  • Transfer Certificate
  • Study certificates
  • Caste certificate, if applicable
  • Income certificate, if applicable
  • Residence/local status certificate, if required
  • Aadhaar or other identity proof
  • Other category-specific certificates

Candidates should upload clear copies of the documents in the format and size specified by the counselling authority.

Step 5: Certificate Verification

After registration and document submission, candidates must complete the certificate verification process. For most candidates, certificate verification may be completed through the prescribed online process. However, candidates belonging to certain special categories, such as:

  • CAP
  • NCC
  • PH
  • Sports

may be required to attend physical certificate verification at designated help centres, depending on the official counselling schedule and instructions. During verification, officials check the candidate’s certificates and eligibility details. Candidates should carefully check their verification status on the counselling portal after the process is completed.

Step 6: Enter Web Options

Candidates whose certificates are successfully verified can proceed to web options entry. This is one of the most important stages of counselling. Candidates need to select their preferred law colleges and courses from the available options. For example, candidates should consider:

  1. Preferred college
  2. Preferred course
  3. College location
  4. Previous admission trends
  5. Seat availability
  6. Their AP LAWCET rank

Candidates can usually enter multiple options. It is advisable to arrange the options in the exact order of preference. For example: Option 1: College A – LL.B Option 2: College B – LL.B Option 3: College C – LL.B Option 4: College D – LL.B Candidates should not randomly arrange their options because the order entered can affect the allotment.

Step 7: Edit or Modify Web Options

If the counselling authority provides an option-editing facility, candidates can modify their selected options within the specified period. Candidates should use this opportunity to:

  • Add colleges
  • Remove unwanted colleges
  • Change the preference order
  • Add additional courses, where applicable

Once the final web options are submitted, candidates should save or confirm them as instructed.

Step 8: Seat Allotment

After the web options process is completed, APSCHE conducts the seat allotment according to the applicable counselling rules. Seat allotment depends on factors such as:

  • AP LAWCET rank
  • Candidate category
  • Reservation rules
  • Local status
  • Availability of seats
  • College and course preferences
  • Web options entered by the candidate

Candidates can check the seat allotment result by logging into the official counselling portal. If a seat is allotted, candidates should download the allotment order and carefully read the instructions mentioned in it.

Step 9: Self-Reporting

Candidates who receive a seat must complete self-reporting through the online counselling portal within the specified deadline. Self-reporting confirms that the candidate intends to accept the allotted seat. Candidates should not miss the self-reporting deadline because failure to complete the required process may result in cancellation of the allotment.

Step 10: Report to the Allotted College

After completing online self-reporting, candidates must report to the allotted law college within the specified dates. At the college, candidates may need to:

  • Submit original certificates for verification
  • Submit required documents
  • Pay the applicable admission/college fee

The counselling portal will verify the candidate’s details and display the corresponding TG LAWCET Phase 1 provisional seat allotment result.

Step 5: Check the Allotted College and Course

Once the result is displayed, candidates should carefully check all the details mentioned in the allotment result.

The allotment information may include:

  • Candidate name
  • Hall ticket number
  • TG LAWCET rank
  • Category
  • Allotted college
  • Allotted course
  • Course duration
  • Seat category
  • Allotment status
  • Reporting instructions
  • Fee/payment details

Candidates should verify that the allotted college and course are correct.

Step 6: Download the Seat Allotment Order

Candidates who have been allotted a seat should download the TG LAWCET Phase 1 Seat Allotment Order from the counselling portal.

It is advisable to save a digital copy and take a printout of the allotment order for future reference.

Candidates who are satisfied with the allotted seat must follow the instructions mentioned in the allotment order and complete the required fee payment and self-reporting/admission formalities within the specified deadline.

Candidates should not wait until the last date to complete the reporting process.

How is TG LAWCET Phase 1 Seat Allotment Done?

The TG LAWCET Phase 1 seat allotment 2026 is carried out through a centralized, web-based counselling process. Candidates who meet the eligibility requirements and successfully participate in the counselling process are considered for seat allotment.

The process generally involves multiple stages, starting with counselling registration and certificate verification and ending with web options entry and seat allotment.

1. Counselling Registration

Candidates who qualify for the counselling process first complete the online counselling registration. During registration, candidates provide their examination and personal details and pay the prescribed counselling processing fee, wherever applicable.

Only candidates who successfully complete the required counselling process are considered for the subsequent stages.

2. Certificate Verification

After registration, candidates must complete the required certificate verification process.

The authorities verify the candidate’s educational qualifications, category details, local status and other relevant documents. Candidates belonging to reserved categories may also need to submit the applicable supporting certificates.

Successful certificate verification is important because candidates must meet the prescribed eligibility and reservation requirements to participate in the seat allotment process.

3. Web Options Entry

After completing the required verification process, eligible candidates are allowed to enter their web options.

During this stage, candidates select their preferred:

  • Law colleges
  • LL.B courses
  • Course and college combinations
  • Order of preference

Candidates can generally enter multiple choices according to their preferences.

4. Choice Priority

The order in which candidates enter their choices is important.

For example, if a candidate prefers:

  1. College A – LL.B
  2. College B – LL.B
  3. College C – LL.B

the counselling system considers the choices according to the candidate’s preference order, subject to rank, eligibility, reservation and seat availability.

Therefore, candidates should place their most preferred college and course combination at the top.

5. Merit and Rank Consideration

The candidate’s TG LAWCET rank/merit position is one of the important factors considered during allotment.

Candidates with better ranks generally receive priority when seats are allocated, subject to the applicable reservation, eligibility and other counselling rules.

However, rank alone does not determine the final allotment. The availability of seats and the candidate’s category, local status and selected options also play an important role.

6. Category and Reservation

The seat allotment process also considers the applicable reservation rules.

Candidates are considered against the seats available for their respective categories, subject to the rules prescribed by the counselling authorities.

Therefore, two candidates with similar or nearby ranks may receive different allotments depending on their category, available seats and other applicable conditions.

7. Local Area Status

The counselling process may also consider the candidate’s local area status wherever applicable under the admission rules.

Local and non-local eligibility can affect the seats for which a candidate is considered.

Candidates should therefore ensure that their local status and supporting certificates are correctly submitted during the counselling process.

8. Eligibility Requirements

The authorities also check whether candidates satisfy the prescribed eligibility conditions for the selected course.

Candidates must meet the required educational qualification and other admission conditions applicable to the 3-year or 5-year LL.B programme.

A candidate may not receive an allotment for a particular course or college if the candidate does not satisfy the applicable eligibility requirements.

9. Availability of Seats

Seat availability is another major factor in the allotment process.

The number of seats available in each participating law college and course can vary based on:

  • College
  • Course
  • Category
  • Seat quota
  • Previous allotments
  • Vacancies
  • Candidate preferences

If the preferred college has no available seat when the candidate’s turn is considered, the system may move to the candidate’s next eligible preference.

10. College and Course Preferences

The final allotment also depends heavily on the choices entered by the candidate during web options.

For instance, a candidate with a good rank may still not receive a particular college if that college was not included in the candidate’s web options.

Similarly, if the preferred option is unavailable, the system may consider the candidate’s next available choice.

The 3-Year LLB programme is intended for candidates who have completed a recognised undergraduate degree and satisfy the applicable eligibility conditions.
