AP LAWCET Syllabus: Sections and Topics Covered
Andhra Pradesh Law Common Entrance Test
Aptitude for the Study of Law is half this paper at 60 questions, and the coverage under it is the part that transfers from no other entrance. General Knowledge and Mental Ability and Current Affairs take 30 each and are recall rather than reasoning, which makes them the quickest marks on a paper that allows 45 seconds a question. This page covers the 5-Year LL.B. route; the 3-Year route and AP PGLCET are separate papers with their own shapes.
Sections official, topics ours. The section names and counts below are from the official pattern. The topics under them are what this site's own tests cover, not a list the exam body publishes.

Frequently asked questions
What sections does the AP LAWCET syllabus cover?
There are 3 sections: General Knowledge and Mental Ability, Current Affairs and Aptitude for the Study of Law. Those names, and the question counts and marks beside them, come from the official pattern, checked 1 September 2026. What sits under each of them on this page is a different thing: 81 topic labels drawn from the 120 questions built here for this exam, which is a map of what you can practise rather than a list the exam body published.
Is this the official AP LAWCET syllabus?
No, and the page says so rather than leaving you to work it out. The section pattern is official and linked to the notice it came from; the topics beneath it are the ones this site's own tests cover. They are useful for two things: seeing what you can practise here, and checking a syllabus you already have for gaps. For the syllabus itself, read the exam body's own document, because a topic list assembled from a question bank can be narrower than the syllabus and never wider in a way you should trust.
How many questions are there in the AP LAWCET paper, and how long is it?
The paper is 120 questions for 120 marks in 90 minutes. There is no negative marking. Knowing that alongside the syllabus is what turns a topic list into a plan: it tells you how many marks each section is actually worth and how many minutes you can afford per question.
How do I practise the AP LAWCET syllabus?
Sit a full mock before working down any topic list. A list tells you what can be asked; it does not tell you which parts are costing you marks, and that is rarely where a candidate expects. There are 4 free tests for AP LAWCET here, and the sectional ones let you rebuild a single section once the full paper has shown you which one needs it.
