PU-CET (Panjab University Common Entrance Test) also known as PU UGLAW is a university-level entrance examination conducted by Panjab University, Chandigarh for admissions to 5-year integrated law programs - BA LLB (Hons.) and BCom LLB (Hons.) at UILS (University Institute of Legal Studies) campuses.
The PU 5 year law entrance exam 2027 is specifically for students who have completed 10+2 (Higher Secondary) and want to pursue law as a career. This is different from the 3-year LLB program which requires graduation.
UILS Chandigarh is one of the top law colleges in North India with excellent faculty, infrastructure, and placement opportunities. Surya Law Academy provides specialized coaching to help you secure admission here.
The PU CET UG Law 2027 notification is not out yet. Based on the last cycle, the exam is expected around April 2027 — check uglaw.puchd.ac.in / cetug.puchd.ac.in for the official date. For reference, the 2026 exam was held on April 26, 2026 (Saturday); it was originally scheduled for January 4, 2026, but was postponed to April 26, 2026 as announced by Panjab University on November 21, 2025.
This strategic rescheduling gave students who were in 12th class an excellent opportunity to prepare systematically. Since the final merit is calculated as 50% entrance exam marks + 50% Class 12th marks, you can give equal attention to both without overlap.
The PU law entrance exam is conducted in morning session, typically starting between 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM (exact timing is mentioned on the admit card). The exam duration is 90 minutes.
The PU 5 year law entrance exam pattern (as per the 2026 paper, expected to continue for 2027) consists of 100 multiple choice questions (MCQs) to be completed in 90 minutes. The exam is conducted in offline mode (pen-and-paper based test) at designated examination centers.

Students should allocate their preparation time proportionally, dedicating maximum effort to GK & Current Affairs, especially events from May 2026 to March 2027.
The PU 5 year LLB syllabus 2027 (based on the 2026 paper) covers four core sections designed to test general awareness, legal aptitude, reasoning abilities, and English proficiency. All questions are objective-type MCQs. Here's a complete topic breakdown:

Common questions about PU CET UG Law 2027 (PU 5 year law entrance exam)
PU CET UG Law 2027 is expected around April 2027 — the notification is not out yet, so check uglaw.puchd.ac.in / cetug.puchd.ac.in. The 2026 exam was held on April 26, 2026 (Saturday); it was originally scheduled for January 4, 2026, but was postponed to April 26, 2026 as announced by Panjab University on November 21, 2025.
PU-CET (Panjab University Common Entrance Test) also known as PU UGLAW is a university-level entrance test conducted by Panjab University, Chandigarh for admission to 5-year integrated law programs (BA LLB Hons. and B.Com LLB Hons.) offered at UILS Chandigarh, UILS Ludhiana, and UILS Hoshiarpur. The exam consists of 100 MCQs to be completed in 90 minutes covering Law/Legal Aptitude (40 marks), General Knowledge & Current Affairs (40 marks), Reasoning Ability (10 marks), and English Language (10 marks).
Candidates must have passed 10+2 (Higher Secondary) examination from any recognized Board with at least 50% aggregate marks (45% for SC/ST/BC/PwD candidates). Students from any stream - Science, Commerce, or Arts can apply. There is no upper age limit, but minimum age should be 17 years at the time of admission.
Based on the 2026 paper, the PU 5 year law entrance exam consists of 100 multiple choice questions (MCQs) to be completed in 90 minutes. The exam is offline (pen-and-paper mode). Section-wise distribution: Law/Legal Aptitude (40 marks), General Knowledge & Current Affairs (40 marks), Reasoning Ability (10 marks), and English Language (10 marks). There is negative marking of −0.25 marks for each wrong answer.
Yes, PU CET follows a negative marking scheme. Each correct answer awards +1 mark, while each incorrect answer results in a deduction of 0.25 marks. Unattempted questions carry no penalty. Strategic attempt with accuracy is crucial to maximize your score.
Final merit for PU CET is calculated as: 50% of entrance exam marks + 50% of Class 12th marks. For example, if you score 70 marks in the entrance exam and have 85% in 12th boards, your final merit = (70 × 0.5) + (85 × 0.5) = 77.5. Both entrance exam and board marks carry equal weightage, making 12th percentage very important for final admission.
The cut-off for UILS Chandigarh varies by category and year. For General category, the cut-off typically ranges between 75-85 marks out of 100 in the final merit score. However, the final merit is calculated as 50% of entrance exam marks plus 50% of Class 12th marks, so both scores are equally important for admission to UILS Chandigarh through PU UGLAW 2027.
Approximately 480 seats (plus 8 seats as per court order) are offered through the PU CET entrance exam across UILS and constituent colleges of Panjab University. The exact seat distribution varies by course (BA LLB / B.Com LLB), college, and reservation category.
The PU CET entrance exam is conducted in three languages: English, Hindi, and Punjabi. Candidates can choose their preferred language medium at the time of registration. They must mention their language choice in the OMR sheet before starting the exam.
Yes, students appearing in 12th class final examinations can apply for PU CET entrance exam provisionally. Since the exam is expected around April 2027 (after 12th boards in Feb-March), most students will have completed their boards by exam day. However, they must produce their passing certificates and mark sheets during the counseling/admission process after board results. Failure to meet the minimum percentage criteria will result in cancellation of admission.
PU CET is conducted in offline mode as a pen-and-paper-based test at designated examination centers — the 2026 exam was held this way on April 26, 2026; confirm the mode for 2027 in the official notification. Candidates receive an OMR sheet on which they must mark their answers by darkening circles. The exam is NOT conducted online.
General Knowledge & Current Affairs and Legal Aptitude are tied for maximum weightage, each carrying 40 marks out of 100 (80 marks combined). Reasoning Ability and English Language carry 10 marks each. Candidates should focus maximum preparation time on these two 40-mark sections, especially current affairs from May 2026 to March 2027.
Yes, there is no restriction on the number of attempts for PU CET entrance exam. Candidates can appear for the examination any number of times as long as they meet the eligibility criteria (10+2 with required percentage). Many candidates attempt multiple times to improve their scores and secure better colleges.
Panjab University postponed the PU CET exam from January 4, 2026 to April 26, 2026 (announced on November 21, 2025). This strategic change allows students to: (1) Focus entirely on 12th board exams in Feb-March without entrance pressure, (2) Get adequate preparation time after boards for the entrance exam, (3) Have better time management between board exams and entrance exam. The final merit will still be calculated using 50% entrance + 50% board marks after 12th results are declared in May-June.
PU 5 year law entrance (UGLAW) is for 10+2 passed students for BA LLB/BCom LLB programs (5-year integrated), 2027 exam expected around April 2027, with 100 questions in 90 minutes. PU 3 year LLB is for graduates (BA/BCom/BSc passed) for LLB program (3-year), 2027 exam expected around June 2027, with 100 questions in 90 minutes.
