What is a good score in TS LAWCET 2026?

Usually, if a candidate scores around 90 to 100 marks out of 120, it’s is considered as a very good score for admission to a top law colleges in Telangana. Getting a score between 70 to 85 marks opens the gateway for admission to a decent law college depending on your category and remaining seats. For General category students, you need higher marks, but SC, ST, and OBC candidates can get admission with a bit lower score.

Your TS LAWCET 2026 Rank is made from your total marks, so even a few marks up or down can change your rank a lot. The more marks you get, the better your chance of getting your favorite law college in counselling.

TS LAWCET 2026 Qualifying Marks Vs Admission Cutoff

Many candidates make the mistake of considering the TSLAWCET qualifying marks as the admission cutoff. But the two are very different. For instance:

  • The qualifying marks are the minimum marks one needs to secure in the TS LAWCET 2026 exam to qualify in the exam.
  • Note that only such candidates who qualify in the TS LAWCET 2026 exam will get a merit rank and will be eligible to participate in the counseling process.
  • But merely qualifying in the TS LAWCET doesn't guarantee admission or seat allotment.
  • Qualifying candidates need to appear in the counseling process, wherein seats will be allotted based on

          1) TS LAWCET 2026 merit rank and

          2) college options picked during counseling.

  • The last rank for which admission is offered is called the TS LAWCET 2026 cutoff for that particular category and college.
