AP LAWCET Counselling 2025 Likely to be Postponed: Here's the reason

AP LAWCET 2025 counselling registration deadline has been extended. Delays in approval of colleges and legal matters may push the schedule further.

AP LAWCET Counselling 2025 Likely to be Postponed

AP LAWCET 2025 Counselling Delayed: The Higher Education Council is considering postponing the Andhra Pradesh LAWCET 2025 counselling process, as the Bar Council of India (BCI) has not approved certain participating colleges. Out of 34 law colleges in the state, only 3 government and 4 private colleges have been approved. Another 27 colleges have not yet been approved by BCI. According to the rules, after providing affiliation, universities must send a list for BCI permission. Although the authorities have not yet made an official announcement, the deadline for AP LAWCET 2025 counselling registration has already been extended to September 18, 2025, which has given additional time to the candidates to exercise web options.

Reasons for the Postponement of AP LAWCET 2025 Counselling

One of the major causes of potential adjournment is the ongoing legal and administrative issues. There are disputes related to the local versus non-local status of candidates, which affects the reservation quota and seat allocation. Counselling cannot proceed completely until these issues are resolved or clarified, as it can give rise to errors in seat allocation or disputes among students.
Another factor is the approval status of the participating law colleges. Out of 34, around 27 colleges are still waiting for final approval from the Bar Council of India or other regulatory bodies. Counselling cannot be easily started until all colleges are officially included in the process. Such a delay is not uncommon and has occurred in previous years, adding uncertainty.
Additionally, special category counselling, such as for disabled persons (PWD), has already been postponed

Since the AP LAWCET 2025 counselling process includes several stages, such as certificate verification, web options, and seat allocation, even a small delay in a step can affect the entire schedule.
