    CLAT 2025 Revised Result: Can You Change Your NLU Preferences?

    CLAT 2025 Revised Result: Can You Change Your NLU Preferences?

    Sumeet SudarshanUpdated on 04 Apr 2025, 08:17 AM IST

    As the fate of the CLAT 2025 results remains uncertain due to the ongoing court cases, candidates are unsure about their admission chances at their preferred NLUs. Candidates had to fill in their NLU preferences at the time of CLAT 2025 counselling registration. Now that the Consortium of National Law Universities has been taken to court for inaccuracies in the CLAT 2025 result, will candidates get another chance to submit their NLU preference as per the revised results? It is important to note that candidates can secure a seat in only that NLU which is in their NLU preference list. In this article, let’s discuss the possibilities for candidates.

    Why Candidates Will Need to Change their NLU Preferences?

    In CLAT 2025, the candidates had the benefit of filling in their NLU preferences as per their performance in the Common Law Admission Test to maximise their chances of admission. This was a change from last year, where candidates had to fill their preferences at the time of filling up the application form.

    However, if the CLAT 2025 results are revised, then the NLU preferences filled by the candidates will not be in sync with their rank. It can adversely affect their admission chances and rob them of the benefit of hindsight, something which was lacking in CLAT 2024 as well.

    What Have Courts Said on the Matter?

    While hearing the petitions against the CLAT 2025 results, the courts have commented that no deserving candidates should be denied a rightful place in the merit list due to mistakes in the CLAT answer key and result.

    It can be inferred from this that if the results are revised, then candidates may be given a chance to alter their NLU preferences as per the revised result, so they are not denied their rightful place on the merit list of NLUs in which they deserve a seat.

    What is the Consortium’s View?

    The Consortium of National Law Univerisites has not informed anything yet about providing candidates with another opportunity to fill in their NLU preferences. The Consortium of NLUs has challenged the earlier verdict delivered by the Delhi HC on December 20 and later upheld in the December 24 hearing, in which two answers were modified.

    Hey there,

    If you mean CLAT eligibility for admission to 5-year LLB courses, there is no fixed CLAT score/rank that guarantees eligibility. You must first meet the basic Class 12 eligibility criteria, and admission is based on your CLAT rank, category, preferences, and counselling cut-offs.

    For NLUs, a better rank
