    When will CLAT 2025 revised results be declared?

    Usually the CLAT 2025 results are declared before the CBSE class 12 results as the exam process is over before even starting of the CBSE exam. However, this time around due to the long court trials on the CLAT 2025 results and the subsequent SC jugment to revise CLAT results, the admission process has been delayed by more than four five months. It is expected that the CLAT 2025 revised results will be declared within this week and the consortium will begin CLAT 2025 counselling as soon as the scorecards are out.
