Seat Matrix and Participating Colleges

The TS LAWCET 2025 exam offers a substantial number of seats across various law colleges and universities in Telangana. According to official figures, there are approximately 4,202 seats available for the 3-year LLB program and 2,064 seats for the 5-year LLB program. These seats are distributed among prestigious government and private institutions, including University College of Law, Osmania University; University College of Law, Kakatiya University; Pendekanti Law College; and Mahatma Gandhi Law College, among others.

This counselling process is the single gateway for admission to these colleges, and candidates who fail to register within the stipulated time frame will lose their opportunity for a seat in this round. The TSCHE has also clarified that a second phase of counselling will be conducted for any vacant seats after the first phase is concluded, but aspirants are advised to participate in the first phase for the best chance of securing a seat in a top college.
