TS LAWCET Result Previous Year Statistics
TS LAWCET has run on a fairly stable cycle for the past few years. The number of candidates appearing has stayed between 40,000 and 50,000, and the pass percentage has changed with the difficulty of the paper each year.
The table below shows the year-wise totals for the last five cycles.
| Year | Candidates Appeared (Total) | Candidates Qualified | Overall Pass % | Result Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 49,781 | ~35,400 | ~71.1% | June 4, 2026 |
| 2025 | 45,609 | 30,311 | 66.46% | June 25, 2025 |
| 2024 | ~40,000+ | ~30,000+ | ~74% | July 2024 |
| 2023 | 43,692 | ~34,500 | 78.59% (3-yr) / 80.21% (5-yr) | August 2023 |
| 2022 | ~42,000 | ~33,000 | ~79% | August 2022 |
The pass percentage dipped to 66.46% in 2025 — the lowest in five years — before rebounding to about 71% in 2026. The 3-year LLB stream consistently sees a higher qualifying rate (around 76-78%) than the 5-year LLB stream (which usually stays in the 50-60% range), since 5-year LLB candidates write the test fresh out of school without the benefit of degree-level subject familiarity.
The trend across four years also shows that result declaration has moved earlier — from August in 2022 and 2023 to early June in 2026 — giving candidates more time for counselling and admissions.

| Course | AIR 1 — Topper Name |
|---|---|
| TS LAWCET 3-year LLB | Meesala Vijayadurga |
| TS LAWCET 5-year LLB | Alluri Sanith Reddy |

TS LAWCET 2026 Result Statistics
TGCHE released full course-wise statistics on result day. The table below compares appearance and qualification numbers for the two LLB streams.
| Course | Candidates Appeared | Candidates Qualified | Pass Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-year LLB | 38,261 | 29,327 | ~76.65% |
| 5-year LLB | 11,520 | 6,073 | ~52.71% |
| Total | 49,781 | 35,400 | ~71.11% |
The 5-year LLB pass rate is lower because most candidates are recent Class 12 pass-outs. They write the exam without much exposure to reasoning, current affairs, and aptitude topics. The 3-year LLB exam attracts graduates from various disciplines who are usually better prepared for these sections.

TS LAWCET 2026 Cutoff
The TS LAWCET cutoff is the last rank or score at which a category gets a seat in a given college, course, and round. TGCHE releases it after each phase of counselling, and it changes from one round to the next. The cutoff depends on how many candidates applied, the number of seats, and the choices filled by candidates.
The table below shows indicative closing ranks for top Telangana law colleges in the previous cycle, by category. Use these as a rough guide for what to expect in 2026.
| College | Course | General | BC | SC | ST |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| University College of Law, Osmania University | 3-year LLB | 250-300 | 400-500 | 1,200-1,500 | 1,800-2,200 |
| Pendekanti Law College, Hyderabad | 3-year LLB | 1,500-2,000 | 2,200-2,800 | 4,000-5,000 | 5,500-6,500 |
| University College of Law, Kakatiya University | 3-year LLB | 900-1,200 | 1,400-1,800 | 2,800-3,500 | 3,800-4,500 |
| University College of Law, Osmania University | 5-year LLB | 40-90 | 120-180 | 500-700 | 800-1,000 |
The 2026 round-by-round cutoffs will be published by TGCHE during counselling. Closing ranks tend to tighten in Round 1, when more candidates lock high-preference colleges, and loosen in later rounds as seats open up due to withdrawals and upgrades.
