Candidates awaiting results of the qualifying examination can also appear for the test on condition that they produce proof of having passed the qualifying examination with the prescribed marks at the time of admission. Those who do not clear the qualifying examination with the requisite marks are not eligible for admission. Candidates whose marks statement of the qualifying examination is not available at the time of admission are not eligible for admission.

General
: 52 Seats
Scheduled Caste (15%) : 11 Seats
Scheduled Tribe ( 7.5%) : 5 Seats
Persons with Disability (3%) : 2 Seats
Total : 70 Seats
*30% for women (Horizontal). Since the number of women candidates, admitted to the course, on their own merit, is nearly 50%, this reservation has no effect on the seats allotted for general category.

- The resident students of A.P. who get selected in the regular merit will be considered against the All-Inda-Seats and those who do not get in regular merit in All-India-Seats shall be considered against the State-Quota-Seats in different categories in order of merit in CLAT.
- The unfilled seats reserved for Scheduled Caste (SC) candidates are assigned to Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates and vice-versa. If sufficient number of eligible SC and ST candidates are not available to fill such seats, unfilled seats are reallocated to the general candidates in the same order of merit. The unfilled seats reserved for candidates with disability will be offered to general candidates in the same order of merit.
- The University reserves the right to keep seats vacant if there are no candidates securing minimum prescribed qualifying marks at the Common Law Admission Test.
Direct Admission
In addition, 10 seats are allotted to Foreign Nationals. Candidates possessing the citizenship of a country other than India will only be considered under this category. There are no sponsored seats for Non Resident Indians (NRIs).
The admission of Foreign Nationals is made on the basis of prescribed academic qualifications and an interview.
