The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) scheduled the release of the CLAT 2025 first merit list on December 26, 2024. Due to the court petitions filed against the CLAT 2025 answer key, the release date of CLAT first merit list 2025 is delayed. The CLAT 2025 result petition will be heard in the Supreme Court on January 15, 2025. The first CLAT merit list 2025 will be released by the NLU Consortium as soon as the Supreme Court gives its judgment on the ongoing case. However, in case of revision of CLAT merit list, the CLAT results may be announced with a delay, by the end of the month. This will be followed by the counselling registration and release of merit list.

Hello,

In CLAT , the 9-digit admit card number is not the same as the roll number you have to write on the OMR sheet. The OMR sheet has only 7 blocks because the CLAT roll number is shorter.

You should check your admit card again and look for the roll number printed near your name and exam details. Fill only that roll number in the OMR sheet. Do not write the 9-digit admit card number.

If you still cannot find the roll number, you can ask the exam invigilator on the exam day.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

To check your CLAT exam hall ticket, go to the official website, log in with your registration or application number and password (or other login details), and the admit card will be displayed on the screen. You should then download and print at least two copies of the admit card for the exam and counselling process.

I hope it will clear your query!!
