The Consortium of National Law Universities may soon revise the CLAT results after the directions given by the Delhi High Court. The scores and rank of many candidates will be changed if the results are revised. In one of the articles, we discussed how a single mark can change the CLAT rank and it can change by 1000 ranks too.

Now, let's try to understand how the CLAT scores will be changed and whether your grievances related to marks discrepancies will be taken into account.

So, just a brief about Delhi High Court’s judgment; question number 14 from SET A is modified whereas, question number 100 will be withdrawn. All remaining objections were rejected.

The court has directed the consortium to change the answer of Question number 13 from Option D, sellers of stolen hardware to Option C, Auctioneers of cheap drugs. Now, this is how it will change your CLAT marks;

Candidates who chose Option C for Question number 14

  1. Changing the answer to set c means, some of the candidates who have selected option C will get one mark.

  2. This will also remove the penalty of 0.25 marks. So, effectively, the candidate will get 1.25 marks.

Candidates who chose Option D for Question number 14

Now, there will be some candidates who might have selected option D as their answer and have got one mark for this. With these changes coming into effect, such a candidate will not only lose one mark but will also get a penalty of 0.25 marks. So, effective score will drop by 1.25 marks.

Candidates who chose Option A or B for Question number 14

Candidates who have selected option A or B will not have there score changed as they already have got a penalty of 0.25 marks.

Impact of Question no 100

Now, on Question no 100, the Court agreed with the expert committee and the question will be withdrawn, so it is unlikely to make any impact on those who have not attempted the question.

Candidates who marked option D

Such candidates are likely to lose one mark. Since the question may be withdrawn from the question paper, those who scored 1 mark as per the final answer key will be at a disadvantage.

Candidates who marked options other than D

Such candidates were penalised for 0.25 marks. Now, as the question has been withdrawn, they will gain 0.25 marks for this.

All these changes are subject to the consortium not appealing in the Supreme Court and agreeing with the Delhi High Court’s order. Further, on the marks discrepancies arising from the final answer key and results, the grievance portal of NLU Consortium is open and candidates can submit their objections.
