What is AP PGLCET 2026 Spot Round Counselling
AP PGLCET (Andhra Pradesh Post Graduate Law Common Entrance Test) is conducted by APSCHE for admission to 2-year LLM degree programs at universities and affiliated law colleges across Andhra Pradesh. The counselling process runs in multiple rounds to fill all 501 available LLM seats through a web-based system.
The spot round is held after all regular counselling phases conclude. It is designed to fill seats that remain vacant because students did not join, surrendered allotted seats, or were not allocated in earlier phases. The spot round is the last chance for LLM admission through AP PGLCET 2026 — there are no further upgrades or rounds after this. Allotment happens in a single session on the reporting date itself.
