LLB Counselling Still Tracked for September — Official PDF Awaited
As of early September 2026, APSCHE has not yet locked a public day-by-day LAWCET Phase-1 calendar on every tracker. Education coverage expects counselling registration in September 2026 (some earlier helpdesk notes mentioned late August). Keep rank card ready and watch cets.apsche.ap.gov.in/LAWCET and lawcet-sche.aptonline.in/LAWCET before paying fees.
Helpdesk Messaging — Counselling Toward End of August
Secondary reports cited APSCHE helpdesk confirmation that counselling would begin toward the end of August 2026. If the live portal still shows no schedule, treat that messaging as superseded until a PDF is published.
