AP LAWCET, PGLCET 2026 phase 1 reporting deadline extended to October 13

The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) has extended the deadline for Phase 1 self-reporting and physical college reporting for AP LAWCET and AP PGLCET 2026. The new deadline for candidates to complete these procedures is October 13, 2026. This extension applies to admissions for 3-Year LL.B., 5-Year Integrated LL.B., and LL.M. courses.

The original window for self-reporting and college reporting was from October 7, 2026, to October 9, 2026. The APSCHE announced the extension to allow candidates more time to fulfill the reporting requirements at the official portal, cap.apcfss.in, and their respective allotted colleges.

Revised Reporting Procedure and Implications

Candidates who have been allotted seats in Phase 1 of AP LAWCET and AP PGLCET 2026 counselling are required to complete two distinct reporting steps by the revised deadline of October 13, 2026. The first step involves online self-reporting through the official counselling portal, cap.apcfss.in. This process includes completing necessary forms and paying applicable tuition fees to generate an official joining report.

Following online self-reporting, candidates must undertake physical college reporting. This entails visiting the allotted college with the printed Allotment Order, the generated Joining Report, and all original documents for verification. The APSCHE has stated that failure to complete both the online self-reporting and the physical reporting by the stipulated deadline will lead to the automatic cancellation of the allotted seat.
