Dates can change because of administrative decisions, court orders, public holidays or changes in the academic calendar. Candidates should use the official website before making travel, coaching or admission-payment decisions.

✅ Eligibility Criteria

For the five-year LL.B. programme, candidates need Class 12 or equivalent; for the three-year LL.B. programme, a recognised bachelor's degree is required. Programme-wise minimum marks and Maharashtra candidature/reservation rules are defined in the CET Cell information brochure.

Programme or institute eligibility can be stricter than the basic entrance-test eligibility. Candidates should therefore check both the examination bulletin and the admission rules of the college/university they intend to join.

📝 Application Process

The usual application flow is:

1. Register on the official examination/admission portal with an active email address and mobile number.

2. Fill personal, academic and category details exactly as they appear on supporting documents.

3. Select the required paper, programme or test city/slot where the exam allows a choice.

4. Upload the photograph, signature and supporting certificates in the prescribed format.

5. Pay the application fee and save the confirmation page or payment receipt.

6. Use the correction window, if offered, only after checking all details carefully.

Candidates should avoid unofficial payment links and should never assume that registration for the entrance examination automatically registers them for university counselling.

📚 Exam Pattern and Syllabus

Computer-based objective test covering legal aptitude/reasoning, general knowledge/current affairs, logical/analytical reasoning and English, with mathematics also relevant to the five-year paper.

The official syllabus should be used as the final preparation boundary. Where an exam has different papers, streams or programme groups, candidates must study the paper code that matches their intended course rather than a generic syllabus downloaded from an older year.

🎫 Admit Card and Exam-Day Checks

The admit card is normally released through the official candidate login before the examination. Students should verify the name, photograph, test date, reporting time, centre or online-test instructions, permitted identification documents and any prohibited items. If the examination uses slot booking or remote proctoring, the system requirements and mock-test instructions should be completed in advance.

📊 Result, Rank and Admission

After results, candidates register for the Centralised Admission Process (CAP), submit documents and preferences, and receive allotments according to merit and category.

A qualifying score does not always guarantee admission. Final selection can depend on category, institute preferences, programme eligibility, counselling registration, interviews, document verification and seat availability.

💡 Preparation Tips

• Read quality newspapers and explain important legal/current-affairs issues in your own words.

• Practise comprehension and logical reasoning under strict time limits.

• For legal aptitude sections, focus on applying the principle given in the question rather than relying on prior legal knowledge unless the exam says otherwise.

• Maintain a compact current-affairs revision notebook for the months specified by the exam trend.

• Take full-length mocks and review why each wrong option was tempting.
