The SC judgement can have a major impact on a candidate's rank and affect the admission chances to a particular NLU. It has revised the answers to four questions in CLAT 2025. In this article, let’s try to understand how the revised result can shift a candidate’s rank between CLAT rank 1000 - 5000.
A CLAT rank between 1000 to 5000 puts the candidates in the top 10 percentile. However, it needs to be seen how this will change after the revised result and how candidates fare in the CLAT counselling process..Through the Common Law Admission Test, candidates will be admitted into 5-year LLB programmes of participating NLUs.
