AP LAWCET & AP PGLCET 2025: Phase 1 Reporting and Certificate Verification Begins at Allotted Colleges
Attention AP LAWCET and PGLCET 2025 Phase 1 seat-allotted candidates! The deadline for college reporting and mandatory certificate verification is fast approaching. You must report to your allotted college between October 27 and October 29, 2025, to successfully confirm your admission to the 3-Year/5-Year LLB or LLM programs. Failing to complete this final step by the deadline will result in the automatic cancellation of your seat, which will then be rolled over to the Phase 2 counselling. Review the required documents and complete your admission formalities immediately.
The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) has concluded the much-anticipated Phase 1 seat allotment for the AP LAWCET and PGLCET 2025 examinations, marking a crucial milestone for aspiring law students in the state. Candidates who have been successfully allotted seats in the 3-Year LLB, 5-Year LLB, or LLM courses now face the most critical, final step of the admission process: physical reporting and certificate verification at their respective colleges.
This window is extremely narrow. All successful candidates must visit their allotted colleges between October 27, 2025, and October 29, 2025, to complete the necessary formalities. This is an unmissable and mandatory step to secure your admission for the academic year 2025-2026. Aspirants are strongly advised to prepare all required documents meticulously and adhere strictly to the October 29 deadline to avoid the automatic forfeiture of their hard-earned seat. Missing this cut-off will mean waiting for the subsequent Phase 2 counselling, which offers fewer seats and options.

The college reporting process is the final administrative step where the provisional seat allotment is converted into a confirmed admission. This involves physically presenting your documents for verification and paying the requisite admission fee.
- Critical Dates and Timeline:
- Phase 1 Seat Allotment Result Release: October 25, 2025.
- College Reporting & Certificate Verification Window: October 27 to October 29, 2025.

Essential Documents for Verification: A Checklist

- AP LAWCET/PGLCET 2025 Rank Card and Hall Ticket.
- SSC (10th Class) Mark Memo/Certificate (for Date of Birth verification).
- Intermediate (12th Class) Mark Memo/Certificate.
- Qualifying Degree/Provisional Certificate and Consolidated Marks Memos: This is crucial (Graduation for 3-Year LLB/LLM; Intermediate for 5-Year LLB).
- Transfer Certificate (T.C.) from the institution last studied.
- Personal and Reservation Documents:
- Aadhaar Card or other valid ID proof.
- Study Certificates from the 9^{th} class to the qualifying examination (or Residence Certificate for preceding seven years, for candidates without institutional study).

- Note: Candidates from reserved categories (SC/ST/BC/EWS) whose fees are being reimbursed must ensure their Income and Caste Certificates are valid and up-to-date.
What Happens After Phase 1? The Path to Phase 2
For candidates who either missed a seat in Phase 1 or are dissatisfied with their current allotment, the counselling body will conduct a second phase, contingent upon the availability of vacant seats.
- Eligibility for Phase 2:
- Candidates who were not allotted a seat in Phase 1.
- Candidates who were allotted a seat but failed to report to the college by the deadline (their seat is forfeited).
- Candidates who reported and cancelled their seat after Phase 1 admission.
- Anticipated Phase 2 Schedule:
- The schedule for Phase 2 registration, online certificate verification, and web options entry will be notified officially on the APSCHE portal, likely commencing in the last week of November 2025.
- Aspirants who miss the current reporting deadline must keenly track the official website for the announcement of Phase 2, as the window for the second round is usually very short and seats are more limited.
- Key Advantage of Early Confirmation: Completing the reporting in Phase 1 ensures you lock in your chosen seat and can immediately begin attending classes, which are tentatively scheduled to commence shortly after the verification window.
