Consortium of NLUs Notification on Postponement of CLAT 2025 Counselling
What is the Cause for the Delay in CLAT 2025 Counselling?
The cause of the delay in CLAT 2025 counselling are the numerous court petitions filed against CLAT 2025 answer key. In a judgement passed on December 24, the Divisional Bench of the Delhi HC upheld the verdict passed by a single judge of the HC four days earlier. As per the judgement, changes have been made to two questions in the CLAT 2025 Set A Answer Key which are as under -
The answer to question no. 14 has been changed to Option C instead of Option D as determined by the consortium.
Question no 100 has been withdrawn as none of the given options was found to be correct.
Changes will be made to corresponding questions in other sets of the CLAT 2025 answer key as well.
This change in the CLAT 2025 final answer key is likely to lead to a revision in the CLAT 2025 result and preparation of the CLAT 2025 merit list. It is for this reason that the Consortium of NLUs has postponed the counselling process.
What lies Ahead?
Along with notifying the delay in CLAT 2025 counselling, the Consortium of NLUs has also informed that it will approach the Supreme Court against the HC verdict. The counselling is expected to start only after the case is heard in the Supreme Court.
The consortium of NLUs has further said that it will provide regular updates in the matter through notifications on the official website. So, candidates must keep checking the consortium’s website for any developments.
Impact of HC Order on CLAT 2025 Result
The Delhi HC order can impact CLAT 2025 score in several ways depending on whether candidates attempted the two questions or not. The CLAT 2025 score can go up by 1.25 marks or it can go down by 1.25 marks as well depending on which answer the candidate marked in the exam for the two questions.
