The Telangana Council of Higher Education (TGCHE) declared the TS LAWCET and TS PGLCET 2026 results today, June 4, at 4:00 PM on the official portal lawcet.tgche.ac.in. Candidates who appeared for the Telangana State Law Common Entrance Test, held on May 18, can now log in using their hall ticket number, registration number and date of birth to access and download their rank cards.

What the Rank Card Contains

The TS LAWCET 2026 rank card carries all key details candidates will need for the admission process. These include the candidate's name and registered photograph, roll number and application number, hall ticket number, category reservation group, total raw marks secured out of 120, normalised exam score, state-wide merit rank and qualifying status. Candidates are advised to carefully verify all details on the rank card and immediately flag any discrepancies to the examination authority before counselling begins.

Qualifying Marks

General and OBC category candidates must secure a minimum of 35 percent, which equals 42 marks out of 120, to be declared qualified. There is no minimum qualifying mark requirement for SC and ST category candidates. Results have been prepared on the basis of the final answer key.

Tie-Breaking Rules

In cases where two or more candidates secure equal marks, TGCHE applies a three-step tie-breaking process. Higher marks in Part C are given first preference, followed by higher marks in Part B. If the tie still persists, the older candidate is given priority.
