TS LAWCET Answer Key 2026; PGLCET Combined, Objection and Score

TS LAWCET Answer Key 2026 did not arrive on its own. Osmania University released it on May 23, 2026 alongside the TS PGLCET key, since both exams share the same conducting body and an identical release calendar. Candidates who sat the TS LAWCET exam on May 18, 2026, for either the 3-year or 5-year LLB track, can download the key, work out a probable score with no risk from a wrong guess, and raise an objection before the final key closes out this cycle for good.

TS LAWCET Answer Key 2026 Highlights

TS LAWCET and TS PGLCET run as separate exams for separate degrees, LLB and LLM, but share every stage of the answer key calendar this cycle.

TS LAWCET 2026: Why the PGLCET Key Matters Here Too

A candidate searching only for LAWCET material could easily miss that this cycle's key was never released in isolation, which matters if the official notice references PGLCET dates a candidate does not immediately recognise.

• TS PGLCET, the LLM entrance exam, was conducted on the same day as TS LAWCET, under the same conducting body, Osmania University.
• Both exams' provisional keys were released on May 23, 2026, and both final keys followed on June 5, 2026, alongside their respective results.
• The objection window ran on an identical schedule for both exams, so a candidate should not assume LAWCET specific timing differs from what is published for PGLCET.
• Despite the shared calendar, LAWCET and PGLCET remain entirely separate exams with separate question papers, separate marking, and separate rank lists.

TS LAWCET 2026 Subject Wise Pattern

The 120 question paper splits unevenly across its three sections, and knowing this weighting matters more here than in exams where every subject carries the same share.

Aptitude for the Study of Law alone equals the combined weight of the other two sections, so a candidate's performance there tends to move the final score more than either General Knowledge or Current Affairs on its own.

How to Download TS LAWCET 2026 Answer Key

The key sits behind a candidate login rather than being posted as an open PDF, so registration details are needed before it can be viewed at all.

• Visit lawcet.tgche.ac.in and log in to the registered candidate account.
• Open the Answer Key or Response Sheet link on the portal.
• Select the course, 3-year LLB or 5-year LLB, matching the exam actually attempted.
• View the answer key, response sheet, and master question paper together.
• Download all three and compare responses before deciding whether to object.

TS LAWCET 2026 Objection Process and Fee

The window to challenge the provisional key stayed open for just two days, so candidates needed to act quickly once the key actually went live.

• Log in to lawcet.tgche.ac.in with the registered credentials.
• Select the specific question and course being challenged.
• Upload supporting proof and pay Rs 500 for that question.
• Submit before May 25, 2026, since the window does not reopen afterward.

TS LAWCET 2026 Score Calculation

Since there is no negative marking anywhere in TS LAWCET, working out a probable score is simply a matter of counting correct answers across all three sections.

• Match each response against the final answer key.
• Count the correct answers in General Knowledge and Mental Ability, Current Affairs, and Aptitude for the Study of Law separately.
• Add the three section totals together for the final score out of 120.

A candidate who matches 85 of 120 questions scores exactly 85, since nothing is added or subtracted for the remaining 35, whether they were wrong attempts or left unanswered.

Previous Year TS LAWCET Cutoff as Context

Since TS LAWCET closing ranks are published college by college rather than on one shared page, last year's approximate figures work only as a rough sense of how competitive top institutions actually are.

The gap between University College of Law's closing rank near 54 and a private college closing past rank 400 shows how sharply demand concentrates around a small number of government institutions.

TS LAWCET 2026 Important Points

A few extra facts are worth keeping in mind alongside everything already covered above, since they affect how a candidate should treat the key and their eventual rank.

• The final answer key, not the provisional one, is what the rank card is calculated from.
• The Aptitude for the Study of Law section carries exactly half the total marks, 60 out of 120, making it the single most consequential section on the paper.
• A candidate must choose between the 3-year LLB track, open to graduates, and the 5-year LLB track, open to Class 12 pass candidates. The two tracks cannot both be attempted in the same cycle.
• TS LAWCET scores are not accepted by National Law Universities, which admit through CLAT instead.
• There is no upper age limit for either track, and there is no official cap on the number of times a candidate can attempt TS LAWCET.
• Non-local candidates from outside Telangana can apply, though reservation benefits tied to local status may be limited during counselling.

TS LAWCET 2026 Eligibility by Track

A candidate's eligibility depends entirely on which qualifying exam they have already cleared, not on any choice made at the application stage alone, so the track itself is not optional.

Final year graduation students can appear for the 3-year track provisionally, but must clear their degree before counselling, since the qualification itself is checked again at that stage.

What Comes After TS LAWCET 2026 Answer Key

Once the rank card is out, the process moves into a two phase counselling structure rather than a single admission round, giving candidates more than one opportunity.

• Phase 1 counselling registration runs until July 28, 2026, covering document verification, choice filling, and seat allotment.
• Separate allotment lists are prepared for General and OBC candidates versus SC and ST candidates, though no objections are accepted against the allotment list itself.
• A second counselling phase follows the first, giving candidates who did not receive a seat another opportunity before the process closes.

TS LAWCET 2026 has already moved through its full answer key cycle, sharing every stage with TS PGLCET along the way. Candidates should treat the final key as genuinely final, since there is no further objection facility once it and the result are released together.
