MH CET 5‑year LLB 2026 Round 2 Cutoff, TS LAWCET 2026 Round 2 Allotment & DU Spot Round 1 Cutoff
The latest cut‑offs for Maharashtra’s CET LLB, Telangana’s LAWCET and Delhi University’s Spot round are out, reshaping seat‑selection strategies for thousands of law hopefuls.
Careers360 has just published three crucial updates: the MH CET 5‑year LLB round 2 cut‑off marks, the TS LAWCET round 2 allotment list, and the Delhi University Spot round 1 cut‑off for 2026. Each of these numbers tells a different story for students in Maharashtra, Telangana and Delhi, and together they set the tone for the rest of the admission cycle.
MH CET 5‑year LLB 2026 Round 2 Cutoff – What Has Shifted?
The round‑2 cut‑off marks released by the MH CET authority are higher than those in round 1 across most categories. General‑category candidates now need a few extra points to clear the threshold, while the SC/ST/OBC‑EWS marks have crept up modestly. This rise indicates that many of the high‑rank seats were snapped up early, leaving a tighter pool for the second round.
For a Maharashtra student who cleared round 1 but missed a top college like ILS Law College or Symbiosis Law School, the new cut‑off is a reality check. If your score sits comfortably above the round‑2 mark, you can still aim for those institutions; if you are a few points shy, you’ll have to look at colleges with historically lower cut‑offs or consider a repeat attempt next year.
A counsellor’s honest take: “Round 2 is not a second chance for the same seats – it’s a battle for the leftovers. If you’re on the margin, diversify your list now rather than hoping for a miracle.”
TS LAWCET 2026 Round 2 Allotment List – Who Got Seats?
Telangana’s LAWCET authority posted a live, college‑wise allotment list for round 2. The list confirms that most government‑run law colleges in Hyderabad are fully occupied, while a handful of private colleges still have vacancies. Names such as NALSAR and University College of Law appear with zero seats left, whereas institutions like PRP Law College show a small number of seats still open.
This data matters most to students who missed out in round 1. If your name appears under a college you hadn’t originally targeted, that could become a solid backup. Conversely, if your preferred college is absent, you must decide whether to accept a lower‑ranked option now or gamble on a possible round 3, if the state announces one.
One practical trade‑off: private colleges often charge higher tuition than government colleges. A student who lands a seat at a private institution may need to budget an additional ₹1‑2 lakh per year, but the alternative could be waiting for an uncertain later round.
Delhi University Spot Round 1 Cutoff 2026 – A Second Bite
DU’s Spot Round 1 cutoff marks have been released, again by Careers360. Spot rounds are meant for candidates who missed the main round or wish to switch colleges after the first round of counselling. The cut‑off marks are lower than the main round, reflecting the reduced seat pool, but they remain competitive for flagship colleges like the Faculty of Law.
If you cleared the DU entrance exam but didn’t secure a seat in the main round, the Spot round offers a genuine lifeline. The General‑category cutoff sits a few points below the main round, while reserved categories enjoy a slightly larger margin, giving marginal candidates a realistic shot.
A counsellor’s view: “Don’t treat the Spot round as a consolation prize. It’s a focused opportunity, but you still need to be ready with documents and the acceptance fee the moment a seat is offered.”
What Should You Do Now?
First, line up your score against the MH CET round‑2 cut‑offs. If you’re above the mark, shortlist the colleges that still have seats and prepare a rank‑list that mixes top choices with realistic alternatives.
Second, scan the TS LAWCET round‑2 allotment list. Identify any college where you have been allocated, note its fee structure, and decide quickly – private colleges may demand a higher fee, but they guarantee a seat now.
Third, for DU aspirants, keep the Spot round dates on the official notification and have your acceptance fee ready. Seats are allotted on a first‑come‑first‑served basis once the cutoff is met.
Fourth, if you are on the margin for any of these rounds, consider a backup plan that includes colleges with historically lower cut‑offs or a different mode of study (e.g., part‑time LLB) that may have a separate quota.
Finally, remember that once you accept a seat, the fee must be paid promptly; a missed deadline means the seat is re‑allocated and you are out of that round.
Frequently asked questions
Can I appeal a cutoff that seems too high?
No. Cut‑offs are final for each round and are based on the aggregate scores of all candidates. The only recourse is to improve your rank in the next admission cycle.
What happens if I miss the payment deadline after allotment?
The seat is forfeited and re‑allocated to the next eligible candidate on the waiting list. Prompt payment is essential.
Do I need to re‑apply for the next round if I decline a seat?
Yes. Declining a seat removes you from the current round’s pool, but you can register again for the subsequent round, subject to the same eligibility criteria.
