  1. On Question number 100, the court directed the consortium to withdraw the question as the correct answer Sohan was not among the answer options. 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 Now that the question is withdrawn, candidates who marked option D will lose one mark from their CLAT 2025 score.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.

  2. All remaining objections were rejected. So the marks will be revised only for questions number 100 and 14.

  3. 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.

  1. 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

  2. What does one mark mean: given the intense competition among students, one mark can significantly affect your rank in CLAT 2025.

  3. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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penalty of 0.25 marks from this question get the benefit of this question removed from the question paper as it will be withdrawn for all candidates.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.

Right now there is no official e-guide for CLAT 2026 released by the Consortium of NLUs. They usually provide sample questions and model papers closer to the exam, but not a complete guide at this stage.

You can still prepare using free study material available online. Many websites provide free downloadable PDFs, mock tests, and previous year papers that will help you understand the pattern and practice important topics.

If you want a structured book, there are two good options. The Oswaal CLAT & AILET guide has past year solved papers, topic-wise questions, and mock tests. The Arihant CLAT Conqueror book has more than 3000 practice questions with solutions. Both are helpful depending on whether you prefer solved papers or more practice questions.
