Hyderabad: With growing demand for interdisciplinary expertise in areas such as intellectual property rights, medical ethics, tech law and regulatory compliance, more and more engineering graduates, doctors and pharmacists are enrolling to crack the Telangana Law Common Entrance Test.
According to data from the Telangana Law Common Entrance Test (TG LAWCET), engineers and doctors are signing up for legal careers in record numbers. A glance at three years of registrations reveals that 4,328 engineers applied for the three-year law degree entrance examination in 2022. This number jumped to 5,830 in 2023, 7,111 in 2024 and surged to 9,188 this year, which is a 112 per cent increase in last four years.
Doctors’ registrations saw a 92.54 per cent jump from just 67 in 2022, the number went up to 76 in 2023 before increasing to 109 in 2024 and reaching 129 this year.

Engineers with legal expertise are equipped to advise tech companies on protecting inventions and trademarks. There are several doctors who have already made it big in medico-legal field,” said TGCHE Chairman Prof V Balakista Reddy, an academic and legal expert in international law.
