1.25 marks up or down: Know the impact on Your CLAT 2025 Result after HC order
The Consortium of National Law Universities has notified a delay in the publication of the CLAT 2025 merit list following the Delhi HC verdict. The delay caused by the ongoing court petitions against CLAT 2025 has led to tense moments among candidates about its impact on their CLAT 2025 results. Due to the change, some candidates may see their CLAT 2025 marks go up by up to 1.25 marks, while some may see their marks drop by up to 1.25. In this article, let’s try to understand how your score in CLAT 2025 is going to shape up after the modification of two answers in the CLAT 2025 final answer key following the court order.
What is the Delhi HC Order on CLAT 2025 Answer Key?
The Delhi HC examined the CLAT 2025 set A answer key and found that the correct answer for Question 14 was Option C instead of Option D as per the final answer key released by the consortium. In the same set, the court found that none of the options given for Question 100 were correct. The court therefore ordered the withdrawal of this question. As per the consortium, the correct answer was Option D (Data Inadequate). Corresponding changes will be made in the two questions in all four sets of the CLAT 2025 answer key.
