CLAT 2025 Revised Results: The Shocking Impact of One Mark on Your CLAT 2025 Rank
Upcoming Event
CLAT Exam Date:07 Dec' 25 - 07 Dec' 25
After the Delhi High Court’s judgment on CLAT 2025 asking the consortium to revisit the CLAT results, the students now wonder if it can really impact their score and rank. Given the limited intake in the national law universities and the intense competition for these universities, one mark can have a significant impact on candidates’ ranking and admission chances in NLUs. This article discusses how and to what extent this judgment is likely to impact the CLAT results 2025, and whether the consortium would explore the possibilities of challenging it in the Supreme Court.
CLAT Revised Results 2025: Understanding Delhi High Court Judgment in 10 Points

As per the final answer key released by the consortium, Option D, " Data Inadequate" was the correct answer. Now that the question is withdrawn, candidates who marked option D will lose one mark from their CLAT 2025 score. Candidates who marked any other option other than D will gain 0.25 marks.
All remaining objections were rejected. So the marks will be revised only for questions number 100 and 14.
Following this judgment, the Consortium has sent an email communication to candidates that the release of the first admission list which was scheduled for December 26 is likely to be delayed. Meanwhile, they are also consulting a team of senior lawyers to decide on the future course of action.
As of now, there is no clarity from the consortium on whether the result will be revised. However, in case of revision, it is likely to impact your rank
What does one mark mean: given the intense competition among students, one mark can significantly affect your rank in CLAT 2025.
If we look at the previous year's merit list, at 89 marks, the candidate got a CLAT rank of 1379, however, if added just one mark, the rank can go 1102. A difference of almost 277 rank, it can place you in an NLU of your choice.
CLAT Marks | Corresponding Rank |
89 | 1379 |
90 | 1102 |
Difference | 277 |
Since a majority of students secure below 70 marks, the previous merit lists suggest that one mark can make an impact of around 1000 rank. Let's try to understand this from last year’ example - a candidate who got 65 marks got 15532 rank, whereas, at 66 mark, another candidate got 14626 marks. This is a difference of 906 ranks and can significantly change your NLU admission chances.
CLAT Marks | Corresponding Rank |
65 | 15532 |
66 | 14626 |
Difference | 906 |
Finally, the CLAT counselling schedule is likely to be impacted. More candidates are expected to be invited for counselling and the NLU choice filling window may reopen.
Question no 100, which is likely to be removed from the final evaluation will not result in any additional marks for candidates. However, it may reduce the total marks of candidates by 1 mark if they were correct according to the final answer key of CLAT 2025. Further, candidates who got a penalty of 0.25 marks from this question get the benefit of this question removed from the question paper as it will be withdrawn for all candidates.
There is another case in Rajasthan High Court on the grievances not being addressed by the Consortium in a timely manner. The court has sought a response from the consortium on the next hearing scheduled on January 08.

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!!
