TS LAWCET 2024 Institute level counselling is one of the important stages of admission to 3 year and 5 year LLB courses in the Telangana state. This round happens after the state counselling rounds conducted by the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE).

During the TS LAWCET institute level of counselling, each of the participating law colleges in Telangana would do a counselling for the courses in order to fill the remaining seats which have not been filled in the state level counselling. Students who have taken part in the state level counselling and have been allocated a seat shall not be allowed to take part in the Institute level counselling session.

The TS LAWCET 2024 institute-level counselling round is an added advantage for the candidates to get further options and get into colleges where seats are still open. This includes the candidates visiting the respective colleges, producing their documents to the college for scrutiny and then attending the counselling process as deemed fit for the college.

Thus, the candidate has to follow the announcements made by TSCHE and individual colleges regarding the institute level counselling round, counselling schedule, necessary documents and counselling procedure. By attending the state level and the institute level counselling sessions, the candidates get equal opportunities of being selected by a law college in Telangana.
