What is the TG LAWCET 2027 exam pattern?
TG LAWCET is a 90-minute computer-based test of 120 multiple-choice questions for 120 marks, with one mark per question and no negative marking. The paper is in English with Telugu, or English with Urdu.
| Part | Subject | Questions and marks |
|---|---|---|
| Part A | General Knowledge and Mental Ability | 30 |
| Part B | Current Affairs | 30 |
| Part C | Aptitude for the Study of Law (10 questions on legal passages) | 60 |
| Total | 120 |
The 5-year LL.B. paper is set at Intermediate level and the 3-year paper at degree level. The 3-year test runs in two sessions, so marks are normalised. You need 35% (42 out of 120) to qualify; SC and ST candidates have no minimum. See the TG LAWCET syllabus for what each part covers.
Which seats can you get through TG LAWCET?
TG LAWCET ranks fill convener quota seats in LL.B. courses of state universities and their affiliated law colleges in Telangana, through counselling run separately by TGCHE.
- 85% of seats in each course are reserved for local candidates of the Osmania University area; the other 15% are unreserved.
- If you studied up to Intermediate (5-year course) or degree (3-year course) outside Telangana, you are not eligible for convener quota seats, but you can seek National Integration Quota or management quota seats.
- Your rank is valid only for admissions in that academic year.
