Andaman Law College has announced a third round of counselling for admission to its five-year integrated BA LLB course, following the availability of a single vacant seat. The counselling session is scheduled for September 15 at 10 am in the college auditorium, and eligible candidates have been instructed to appear in person with the necessary documents.
The seat, which remained unfilled after the previous rounds of admissions, will be allotted strictly on the basis of merit. According to the college, the process will begin with candidates listed under Category V (General Merit), starting from the cutoff mark of 75.8 percent, recorded at Serial No. 252 during the second counselling conducted on September 2. This ensures transparency and adherence to the merit-based selection system that governs professional admissions in the union territory.
Candidates whose names appear in the final merit list have been specifically directed to attend the counselling in person. They must bring all educational qualification certificates and other original documents required to establish their eligibility. The college has clarified that those failing to produce the necessary papers on the scheduled date and time will not be considered for admission, regardless of their rank or merit.
In addition to certificates, the counselling session requires candidates to bring proof of identity and other documents that establish their eligibility under the notified admission criteria. The emphasis on original documentation reflects the institution’s effort to maintain the integrity of the process and avoid discrepancies or disputes that could arise later in the academic year.
The BA LLB course at Andaman Law College has seen steady demand, given its position as the premier institution for legal studies in the islands. The integrated five-year programme draws students who aspire to careers in law, governance, and related fields. With the legal profession gaining importance in both the private and public sectors, opportunities for graduates have expanded across litigation, corporate advisory, and policy research.
The decision to conduct a third round of counselling reflects the institution’s intent to ensure that every available seat is filled, thereby maximizing opportunities for deserving students. While the number of seats in law remains limited, the administration has been careful to follow established procedures to ensure fairness and transparency. The clear communication of the cutoff mark and the merit number from the previous counselling round provides candidates with a benchmark for their own eligibility.
Students who are unable to attend the counselling session or fail to provide complete documentation will lose their claim to the seat, which will then be offered to the next eligible candidate on the list. The college has reiterated that no further claims will be entertained after the session concludes, even if a candidate’s name features prominently on the merit list. This measure is aimed at ensuring that the admission process does not extend indefinitely and that classes can commence with a full batch.
Legal education in the islands has been expanding steadily, with Andaman Law College playing a central role. By conducting the third counselling session, the college is not only filling its remaining seat but also upholding its commitment to merit-based admissions. For aspirants, the opportunity represents one last chance to secure admission this academic year.
As September 15 approaches, candidates from across the islands who feature on the final merit list are preparing to attend the counselling. For one among them, it will open the door to a career in law, marking the culmination of a competitive process that has stretched across multiple rounds.
