Candidates who have been allotted seats are required to complete self-reporting and report to their designated law colleges between October 7 and October 9, 2026. The academic sessions and classes for first-year law students admitted under Phase 1 are scheduled to commence from October 7, 2026.

Candidates can access their allotment order directly through the candidate portal at cap.apcfss.in. The allotment order contains details such as the candidate’s name, allotted college, course, tuition fee details, and reporting guidelines. Failure to report to the allotted college within the stipulated deadline of October 9, 2026, will result in the automatic cancellation of the allotted seat.

Reporting to Colleges and Required Documents

Candidates who have secured a seat in Phase 1 must complete the self-reporting process and physically report to their allotted colleges between October 7 and October 9, 2026. Final admission is contingent upon complete certificate verification by the respective college authorities and compliance with Bar Council of India (BCI) eligibility guidelines. Candidates must also pay the requisite tuition fee through the online portal to generate their joining report.

During physical college reporting, candidates are required to present a set of mandatory documents, including the AP LAWCET 2026 Rank Card, Hall Ticket, SSC/Intermediate/Degree Marksheets, Transfer Certificate (TC), Study/Residence Certificates, Category/Income Certificates (if applicable), and the Seat Allotment Order. Candidates must carry both original documents and self-attested photocopies for verification.

Seat Allocation and Future Phases

Seats in Phase 1 have been allocated based on merit rank, category reservation, local/non-local status, and the choices saved by candidates during the web options window. The Phase 1 allotment covers thousands of 3-year LL.B, 5-year Integrated LL.B, and LLM seats across the participating law colleges in Andhra Pradesh. Top government law colleges participating in Phase 1 include Dr. B.R. Ambedkar College of Law (Andhra University, Visakhapatnam), SV University Department of Law (Tirupati), Acharya Nagarjuna University (Guntur), and Sri Padmavati Mahila Visvavidyalayam (Tirupati).
