CLAT 2025: Consortium Directed to Revise Results

In a significant decision, Justice Jyoti Singh of the Delhi High Court has directed the Consortium of National Law Universities to revise the results of CLAT 2025. The judgment came in the case of Aditya Singh v. Consortium of National Law Universities, where the petitioner challenged the evaluation of specific questions in the CLAT 2025 answer key.

The Court held that it could not adopt a “complete hands-off approach” in the matter, particularly when demonstrable errors were identified. Justice Singh observed:

“Accordingly, it is directed that the result of the petitioner will be revised to award marks to him for Question No. 14 in accordance with the scheme of marking. Since the Court has upheld Option ‘C’ as the correct answer, which was also the view of the Expert Committee, the benefit cannot be restricted only to the petitioner and will extend to all candidates who selected this option.”

Key Takeaways:

• Marks for Question No. 14 will be awarded to all candidates who chose Option ‘C.’
• Question No. 100 will be excluded from scoring for all candidates due to the absence of a correct option.
• The changes could result in a difference of up to 1.25 marks, which may impact ranks and college preferences for candidates.

Consortium’s Response:

• The Consortium has informed candidates via email that there will be a delay in the counseling process due to the revisions mandated by the court.
• They have stated that they are consulting senior lawyers to determine the best course of action in implementing the changes.

What’s Next?

With no definitive timeline yet, candidates will need to wait for updated results, revised ranks, and new counseling dates. The Consortium’s next steps will determine how these changes impact admissions for CLAT 2025. Stay tuned for further updates as the situation unfolds!
