CLAT 2025 Result Update – The Consortium of NLUs declared the results of CLAT 2025 on May 17, 2025. This follows the directive of the Supreme Court of India passed on May 7, ordering the NLU Consortium to release revise CLAT 2025 (UG) results (which were originally declared on December 7). Earlier, on April 30, the apex court had stayed the Delhi High Court’s decision, which had directed the consortium to revise the results.
However, the exam has since been marred by controversy with petitions being filed in various courts across the country alleging the improper conduct, errors in the CLAT 2025 answer key, and a faulty evaluation process.
The Supreme Court of India on May 7, ordered the NLU Consortium to revise the CLAT 2025 (UG) results (which were originally declared on December 7). Earlier, on April 30, the apex court had stayed the Delhi High Court’s decision, which had directed the consortium to revise the results.
The Delhi High Court after hearing a slew of petitions filed by candidates challenging the CLAT 2025 (UG) results has asked the consortium to revise the results. The verdict to revise the results was pronounced on April 23, 2025.
Petitions have also been filed challenging the CLAT 2025 (PG) results. Hearing for the CLAT PG case will commence on May 2.
In this article, we bring you live updates of the court proceedings and the latest status of the CLAT 2025 exam, especially CLAT 2025 results, since there is a growing consensus among the student community that the results should be revised.
In fact, a single-judge bench of the Delhi High Court, on December 22, had advised the NLU Consortium to revise the results, after which it (the consortium) approached the Supreme Court. The apex court has since then transferred the case to the Delhi High Court, which is now hearing all petitions.
Here we bring you date-wise updates on the legal proceeding involving the CLAT 2025 exam and results. The events are presented in a chronological order so that you can understand how things have unfolded.
May 15 – Revised CLAT 2025 Results Declared
The Consortium of NLUs on May 17, 2025, declared the revised results of the CLAT 2025 exam. The results were released online at consortiumofnlus.ac.in.
The CLAT 2025 counseling registration process also commenced on May 17 (4 pm). The last date to register is May 21 (5 pm). Candidates who have qualified in the exam must register before the last date.
May 7 – SC directs NLU Consortium to release revised CLAT 2025 (UG) result
The Supreme Court of India directs the NLU Consortium to revise the CLAT 2025 (UG) results. The apex court passed the judgement after it found multiple errors in the CLAT 2025 question paper. The court also asked the consortium to award marks for some of the incorrect questions, while a few questions have been asked to dropped.
Further, the apex court stroked down a few other judgements passed by the Delhi High Court on CLAT 2025 results.
April 30 – SC stays Delhi HC’s Judgement
The Supreme Court stays the judgment of the Delhi High Court, which directed the consortium to release revised CLAT 2025 results. The next hearing was scheduled for May 7.
April 23 – High Court Order NLU Consortium to released revised result in 4 weeks
The Delhi High Court has pronounced its verdict on the results of Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2025 for admission to undergraduate law courses in National Law Universities (NLUs).
The bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela directed the NLU Consortium to revise the marksheets and release a revised result in 4 weeks.
The Chief Justice said, “- “We direct the NLU Consortium to revise the marksheet and republish and renotify final selected candidates in 4 weeks.”
April 9 – High Court reserves verdict
The Delhi High Court reserved its verdict on petitions challenging the CLAT 2025 (UG) results.
The Division Bench, comprising Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, was hearing the case.
As reported by Bar and Bench on X (formerly Twitter), the Bench confirmed that “the Court has reserved its verdict on the UG Batch matters.”
Several CLAT UG candidates had petitioned the court, alleging discrepancies in the CLAT 2025 question paper. Their concerns ranged from ambiguously-framed questions and out-of-syllabus content to an insufficient objection window provided by the consortium. Some of the petitioners appeared in person, while others were represented by their legal counsel.
The following issues were bright before the notice of the court
Petitioners claimed the CLAT 2025 question paper included a number of poorly structured, ambiguous, or deviated from the official CLAT syllabus released by the consortium.
A few of the petitioners alleged the objection window given to candidates was insufficient to properly vet and challenge the answer key/ question paper. Note that the CLAT 2025 objection window against the draft answer key was open from December 2 (4 pm) to December 3, 2024 (4 pm).
Some alleged procedural lapses, such as being interrupted during the exam for underlining on the question paper, raising concerns over fairness and transparency in the evaluation process.
In response, Senior Advocate Rajshekhar Rao, representing the consortium, defended the integrity of the examination process, emphasizing that subject matter experts had set and reviewed the paper. He urged judicial restraint in academic matters, arguing that courts should avoid interfering in expert-driven evaluations.
Court’s Observations
Throughout the hearings, the Bench acknowledged concerns over repeated issues with question-setting, warning of their potential impact on students. Justice Gedela remarked, “The court’s role is not to rewrite the exam but to ensure fairness.” Chief Justice Upadhyaya also suggested that the Consortium should consider improving the quality of paper setting, given the recurrence of similar disputes in past years.
Upcoming CLAT PG Hearings
Although the verdict on CLAT UG petitions has been reserved, the Court announced that hearings for postgraduate (PG) CLAT 2025-related petitions will begin on April 21. These petitions involve similar concerns about answer key discrepancies and evaluation standards but will be addressed separately.
Potential Implications
With the verdict pending, CLAT UG 2025 candidates must await the court’s final decision, which could impact rankings, admissions, and counselling schedules. If the court orders a revision or re-evaluation, the entire CLAT admission process may face further delays. For now, the CLAT UG result process remains on hold until the High Court delivers its judgment.
April 7 – HC asks consortium to appoint more qualified paper setters in future
Hearing the petitions, the Delhi High Court observed that the Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLU) must appoint more qualified and capable paper setters in the future.
This remark was made during the forenoon session as the court reviewed objections raised against certain questions in the CLAT UG 2025 examination.
The remark was prompted after Senior Advocate Rajshekhar Rao, representing the Consortium, informed the court that subject matter experts had differing opinions on the validity of a particular logical reasoning question.
Rao acknowledged that a question involving a scenario about homeless individuals had been “wrongly formulated.” He further explained that while multiple experts were consulted, two provided conflicting assessments regarding the question’s correctness. The court noted that such inconsistencies underscore the need for more rigorous vetting of question papers and improved academic oversight.
The division bench of the Delhi High Court was led by Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela.
Objections from Petitioners
Petitioners have argued that certain CLAT UG 2025 questions were ambiguous, factually incorrect, or poorly structured, adversely affecting the candidates’ performance. In an earlier hearing, the court had already determined that at least one question should be removed from evaluation.
Separate Hearing for CLAT PG Petitions
Considering differences in the syllabus and the nature of objections, the court decided to take up petitions related to CLAT PG separately starting April 21.
March 3
The Delhi High Court deferred the hearing to April 7, 2025.
February 6
The Supreme Court on February 6 transferred all the petitions related to the CLAT 2025 result case to the Delhi High Court. This was done to avoid contradictory verdicts on the same issue if petitions are heard by various courts.
“List before Delhi High Court on March 3. Within 7 days of this order, the registrar of each High Court should send the papers (of the concerned case pending before them) to Delhi High Court,” the SC said in its statement.
The next hearing will be listed before the Delhi High Court on March 3, 2025.
January 15
The Supreme Court showed its intent to transfer petitions challenging the CLAT 2025 results to the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
A bench led by Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna and Justice PV Sanjay Kumar issued a notice in response to transfer petitions filed by the consortium that request the court to consolidate all pending petitions and move them either to the Supreme Court or a single High Court for streamlined proceedings.
At present, multiple petitions related to the CLAT 2025 results are being heard in the High Courts of Delhi, Karnataka, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Bombay, Madhya Pradesh, and Punjab & Haryana.
Discussion on transferring the case to a High Court
During the hearing, CJI Khanna expressed his intent to transfer the cases to a specific High Court instead of retaining them in the Supreme Court, citing past instances where similar matters had been redirected.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta proposed Karnataka High Court as a suitable option. However, CJI Khanna pointed out that the first petition had originated in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, highlighting its efficient case disposal rate.
Delhi High Court comes up for consideration
Representatives of some students requested the Supreme Court to transfer the petitions to the Delhi High Court, citing its prior ruling that found two CLAT-UG 2025 answers incorrect. One lawyer passionately urged the bench to consider Delhi High Court, to which CJI Khanna responded, “Law students should not fold their hands.”
Supreme Court’s Order
The bench subsequently declared: “All writ petitions pending across various High Courts should be handled by a single High Court to ensure expedited resolution. Issue notice returnable in the week beginning February 3, 2025. Notices will be served to counsels representing petitioners in different High Courts. The bench is inclined to transfer the matters to the Punjab and Haryana High Court.”
January 7
The Delhi High Court continued deliberations on the CLAT 2025 results case. The court finally adjourned the case till January 30.
The CNLU has, meanwhile, approached the Supreme Court, contending the High Court’s directive to revise the CLAT 2025 results.
No update on when Counseling will start
This legal tussle has delayed the CLAT 2025 counselling process, leaving candidates uncertain about the final admission timeline. The fresh counselling schedule will probably only be declared once the court case is settled.
December 24
The Division Bench of the Delhi High Court refused to stop the order issued by a single-judge bench, which directed the Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLU) to revise the CLAT 2025 results.
Consortium decides to approach the SC
Reacting to the decision of the Delhi High Court, the consortium released the following statement, “The single bench of the Hon’ble Delhi High Court had directed us to revisit the Merit List published on December 7, 2024. While we filed an appeal before the division bench, the order was not overturned. We are now approaching the Supreme Court for appropriate relief at the earliest available date, considering the ongoing vacation.”
GIven the gravity of the situation, the Consortium also sought to assure candidates, “We understand that this delay may affect the counselling timeline. However, we remain committed to maintaining transparency and fairness in the admission process. As a result, the first admission list for NLUs will not be released on December 26 as originally planned. The revised schedule will be announced following our appeal to the Supreme Court and the expected relief.”
This update raised concerns among candidates awaiting their admission results, as the final counselling timeline now will depend on proceedings in the Supreme Court.
CLAT 2025 Counseling Postponed
The consortium issued an important update regarding the CLAT 2025 exam, notifying the postponement of the CLAT 2025 counselling process. Consequently, the first merit list, which was scheduled to be released on December 26, 2024, has been indefinitely postponed.
The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLU Consortium) appealed the Delhi High Court’s recent ruling directing a revision of the CLAT 2025 results due to errors in the question paper and answer key. The appeal, titled Consortium of National Law Universities vs Aditya Singh (Minor), was filed after Justice Jyoti Singh partially ruled in favor of a 17-year-old CLAT candidate who had raised concerns about discrepancies in the exam.
Delhi High Court’s Initial Ruling
On December 20, 2024, Justice Singh found errors in two of the five questions flagged by the petitioner and stated that such mistakes could not be ignored. Consequently, the court ordered the CLAT 2025 results to be revised to reflect correct markings for these two questions, impacting all candidates who sat for the exam.
NLU Consortium’s Appeal
The Consortium challenged the court’s ruling, arguing that the single-judge bench went beyond its jurisdiction by acting as an expert in academic matters. It maintained that the CLAT 2025 answer key had undergone thorough review by subject specialists and asserts that courts should not override academic committee decisions. The Consortium further emphasized the established legal position that judicial intervention should be limited in cases involving competitive exams and expert evaluations.
Candidate’s Counter-Appeal
Meanwhile, the original petitioner appealed the decision, contending that the court addressed only two of the five disputed questions. The candidate insisted that the errors exist in three additional questions and urged the court to revise the answer key further.
Upcoming Hearing
The Division Bench of the Delhi High Court adjourned the hearing till the next day
December 22
The Delhi High Court ruled that the CLAT 2025 results must be revised as there are inconsistencies in the official answer key.
The initial results, released on December 7, 2024, sparked concerns among candidates regarding errors in the Set A answer key, which impacted their scores and rankings.
After reviewing the complaints, the court ordered modifications to two answers in the final answer key.
Discrepancies in the CLAT 2025 Answer Key
Candidates who took the CLAT 2025 exam with Set A pointed out inconsistencies in the answer key, highlighting incorrectly marked responses and unclear solutions.
The affected candidates felt that the errors led to unfair evaluation. They also emphasized that despite them bringing these concerns to the notice of the Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLU), their concerns were overlooked.
As a result, a group of affected candidates filed a petition in the Delhi High Court, urging the court to intervene and ensure a fair reassessment.
Delhi High Court’s Verdict
After carefully examining the case, the Delhi High Court ruled in favor of the petitioners and directed the Consortium of NLUs to correct the answer key and adjust the results accordingly. The court emphasized that such discrepancies had placed many candidates at a disadvantage and should not be ignored in the interest of fairness.
Additionally, the court ordered the Consortium to re-evaluate the affected candidates’ scores based on the revised answer key and release the updated results within a specified timeframe. This ruling has brought hope to students whose rankings and scores may improve following the correction.

NEET Exam Analysis 2025 – The NEET 2025 exam has sprung a big surprise. The reason being the difficulty level of NEET 2025 was through the roof!
Candidates were seen crying outside NEET 2025 exam centers.
Many candidates who were appearing in the exam the 2nd or 3rd time expecting to get a better score saw their efforts go down the drain as they can foresee a much lower score than in their previous attempts.
Even first time test takers were left shell shocked. Some candidates, for instance, were expecting 650+ scores, but now say they are struggling to hit 400.
The NEET 2025 question paper has therefore sent shockwaves among the student community and there is now a lot of anxiety as to what could be the NEET 2025 cut-off.
Here we discuss all these and much more. So, keep reading NEET exam analysis 2025.
The Chemistry section was quite lengthy, requiring meticulous attention to detail. Experts noted that even small misinterpretations could lead to mistakes, emphasizing that while the theoretical portions were relatively straightforward, the application-based questions significantly increased the difficulty level.
Most questions were drawn from the Class 12 syllabus, demanding clear conceptual understanding and analytical skills.
The section included numerous statement-based and matrix-match questions, along with one assertion-reason question. Notably, several problems required the integration of multiple concepts at once, making them more time-consuming compared to the previous year’s exam.

Biology
The Biology section (Botany and Zoology), while not overly complex conceptually, was notably lengthy. The questions demanded thorough reading and attention to detail. Questions were based on NCERT syllabus, and the problems were framed conceptually, with subtle phrasing designed to test deeper understanding rather than simple memorization.
Most questions followed a familiar pattern, though a few posed a challenge. Some questions were derived from introductory passages, chapter-end exercises, and even brief scientist profiles featured at the beginning of certain chapters.
According to experts, more questions were asked from Class 12 syllabus compared to Class 11, offering a balanced combination of factual, conceptual, and analytical questions.
Physics
According to most students and also experts, Physics was the most difficult of the three sections. Unless the candidate had a deep conceptual grasp and strong analytical skills, it was very difficult to attempt questions in the section.
Many questions though formula-driven, yet multi-layered, requiring significant time investment. Students found it particularly tough as they had to integrate concepts from different chapters to solve problems, further elevating the difficulty level.
Most test-takers struggled with time management, especially when tackling complex problems from Modern Physics, Electrodynamics, and Thermodynamics.
The section was exceptionally rigorous, with a heavier emphasis on Class 11 topics and calculation-intensive problems.
Interestingly, the section included very few, if any, statement-based, assertion-reason, or match-the-column type questions.
