Should You Accept the NLU Delhi Seat or Wait for Revised CLAT Results?
Candidates who have second thoughts about accepting a seat at NLU Delhi and want to wait for CLAT 2025 results should evaluate the impact of the court order on their CLAT 2025 score. Even one mark can significantly change the CLAT 2025 result, as shown by CLAT marks vs rank analysis.
The Delhi HC has directed the Consortium of NLUs to change the answer to Question 14 in Set A to Option C and also withdraw Question No. 100 as none of the given options were correct. The consortium has decided to challenge this verdict in the Supreme Court. If the consortium wins, then there will be no change in the candidate’s score as per the result declared on December 7.
