CLAT 2025 Results Must Be Revised Within Four Weeks, Says Delhi High Court
CLAT 2025 result: The Delhi High Court has directed the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) to revise the CLAT 2025 results based on discrepancies in the final answer key. The court pronounced the order after a group of petitions was submitted by the students protesting against certain questions in the CLAT 2025 UG test, accusing incorrect answers and bias in marking.
Court order
A division bench made up of Justice Tushar Rao Gedela and Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya rendered a decision on a number of petitions contesting the outcomes of the CLAT UG 2025, which was administered in December of last year for admission to undergraduate law programmes at many National Law Universities.
Within four weeks, the Court instructed the respondent consortium to update the marksheets and republish the final list of chosen applicants.
The Consortium has accepted that two questions were flawed and has agreed to reject them. As a result, the CLAT 2025 merit list and scorecards will be updated, possibly resulting in alterations in candidate ranks, cut-offs, and seat allotment.
Aspirants are recommended to download their updated scorecards anew once the revised results are announced. Nonetheless, the court order will hold up the process of CLAT 2025 counselling, which has been in abeyance already. A new counselling timeline will be announced upon publication of the revised merit list, putting thousands of hopefuls into a state of uncertainty about getting admitted to premier National Law Universities.
Background of the case and hearings
Candidates who took the CLAT UG 2025 exam in December 2024 filed the petitions, claiming that some of the test's questions were incorrect. On April 9, after hearing arguments from petitioners' solicitors and Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLU) representatives, the court adjourned the hearing. According Pakistani news agency PTI, the court deferred its decision following the hearing.
