Checklist — What Your Rank Card Will Contain:
Pro Tip: Cross-verify every detail printed on your rank card immediately. Any discrepancy — a spelling error in your name, incorrect date of birth, or wrong category — must be reported to the exam authority before counselling begins. Errors left uncorrected can cause seat allocation issues.
Alongside the results, Osmania University has published the final answer keys for both TS LAWCET 2026 and TS PGLCET 2026. These are the definitive keys used to compute candidate scores and ranks. Candidates can download the final answer keys from the same official portal, lawcet.tsche.ac.in, and cross-check their responses.
Note that the provisional answer key challenge window has already closed; the final key incorporates all objections reviewed by the subject experts and is not open to further challenge.
One of the most searched questions by candidates after the result declaration is: "What are the minimum marks to qualify TS LAWCET 2026?" Here is the complete breakdown:
| Category | Minimum Qualifying Marks | Minimum Qualifying % |
|---|---|---|
| General / OC | 42 out of 120 | 35% |
| BC (Backward Classes) | 42 out of 120 | 35% |
| SC (Scheduled Caste) | No minimum | No minimum |
| ST (Scheduled Tribe) | No minimum | No minimum |
Key point: Qualifying the exam only makes you eligible for ranking and counselling. Your final seat in a law college will depend on your actual rank, the college you choose during web options, seat availability, and your category.
Frequently Asked In-Article Question: If I scored 40 out of 120, am I qualified? For General/OC and BC candidates, 40 marks (33.3%) falls below the qualifying threshold of 42 marks (35%). You would not be considered qualified in those categories. SC and ST candidates face no minimum qualifying mark requirement and are eligible regardless of score.
Many candidates confuse the two exams. Here is a clear distinction:
