The Supreme Court will hear the CLAT 2025 result petition on January 15. As everyone awaits the final verdict, the focus will be on whether the Supreme Court accepts the petitioner, Aditya Singh’s objections or sides with the consortium. While the CLAT 2025 results are in the Supreme Court, let’s focus on how the court order will likely impact the CLAT result. Read on to find out the possible outcomes of the CLAT 2025 court case and the expected changes in one’s CLAT 2025 score if the court accepts the petitioner’s objections.
The objections raised by the candidate pertain to Q nos. 14, 37, 67, 68, and 100 from CLAT 2025 set A answer key. While objections for questions 14 and 100 were accepted earlier by the Delhi HC, it rejected the other three.
The table below provides the possible outcomes of the CLAT 2025 Supreme Court hearing to be conducted on January 15.
Particulars | Possible Verdicts |
Outcome 1 | Supreme Court upholds Delhi HC order |
Outcome 2 | Supreme Court accepts consortium’s objections and stays the Delhi HC order |
Outcome 3 | Supreme Court accepts petitioner’s objections |
Outcome 4 | Supreme Court adjourns the case |
Outcome 5 | Supreme Court sends the case back to the HC |
The petitioner, Aditya Singh, has moved the CLAT 2025 result petition to the Supreme Court as there are several cases pending in different HCs across the country against the CLAT 2025 answer key. The petitioner argues that there are errors in the three remaining questions for which he had raised objections. The Delhi HC had rejected those objections. He seeks further revision of the CLAT 2025 results based on the answers of the three questions.
Let’s see how one’s CLAT 2025 score will be affected if the Supreme Court accepts the candidate’s objections to the three remaining questions.
Particulars | Marks awarded upon revision | Impact on negative marking | Final impact on CLAT 2025 score |
If you marked D (correct option as per consortium) | -1 | -0.25 | -1.25 |
If you marked C (correct answer as per candidate) | +1 | +0.25 | +1.25 |
Any other option | No change | No change | No change |

On Question asked by student community
With an AIR around 7930 in CLAT and general women category, top NLUs may not be possible, but you still have chances in newer and lower-ranked NLUs, especially in later rounds or spot counselling. Based on previous trends, you can consider the following preference order:
NLU Tripura (Agartala)
NLU Manipur
NLU Meghalaya (Shillong)
NLU Sikkim
HPNLU Shimla
DSNLU Visakhapatnam (very limited chance, only if cut-offs drop)
Apart from NLUs, you should also apply to reputed private law colleges that accept CLAT scores, such as UPES Dehradun, Alliance University Bengaluru, Amity Law School, and NMIMS School of Law. Since you are from Lucknow, also explore state universities and private law colleges in Uttar Pradesh as backup options.
Hello,
No, there is no penalty fee for leaving an NLU just to write CLAT again and join a better NLU.
You are allowed to leave an NLU and re-appear for CLAT next year.
However, keep these points in mind:
If you leave before joining the NLU , you may lose part of the counselling or seat confirmation fee.
If you leave after joining the NLU , the semester or admission fees already paid are usually not refunded .
There is no extra fine or punishment for attempting CLAT again.
NLUs cannot stop you from writing CLAT again or blacklist you.
Hope it helps !
Hello aspirant ,
With an AILET rank of 16168 and a CLAT rank of 49000 , getting admission in NLUs is not possible. However, many private law colleges accept students based on CLAT or AILET rank without conducting their own entrance test . Colleges like UPES Dehradun ,AMITY law school . Jindal Global Law School and some state private universities may consider these ranks along with Class 12 marks. You should check college specific admission criteria before applying.

Hello aspirant ,
With a CLAT AIR of 10757 in the General category and a West Bengal domicile rank of 249, getting a top NLU is unlikely. However , it is still advisable to take part in counselling because in later rounds or vacant seat rounds , some lower-ranked or newer NLUs may open seats due to withdrawals . Counselling participation keeps your options open.

Hello aspirant,
The Gujarat domicile rank is useful only for seats reserved under the domicile quota at GNLU Gandhinagar. However, even for domicile candidates, GNLU cutoffs usually close at much better All India Ranks. With an AIR of 19000, the chances are quite low, but since counselling invitation is received, it is still worth participating as some movement can happen in later rounds. Do not rely only on domicile rank final allotment depends on AIR, category and seat availability.
