The Supreme Court heard the CLAT 2025 result petition filed by candidate Aditya Singh on February 6 and ordered that all the cases related to CLAT UG 2025 results pending before various HCs be transferred to the Delhi High Court. The Supreme Court was hearing the Consortium of NLUs petition to transfer the cases to a single HC to avoid contradictory verdicts on the same issue and it may delay the release of the revised CLAT 2025 results. However, the next CLAT 2025 hearing will be held at Delhi High Court on March 3, 2024. The hearing is important in the context of CLAT 2025 counselling which has been stalled due to numerous CLAT 2025 court cases filed across the country. Candidates may have to wait a little longer to know the revised CLAT 2025 result and the admission process. Read on to find out what the outcome of the CLAT 2025 Supreme Court hearing will be and the future course of action for students.

What did the SC Hearing Decide?
In the CLAT 2025 SC Hearing on February 6, a bench comprising Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna and Justice PV Sanjay Kumar passed the order in a transfer petition filed by the Consortium of National Law Universities. The Supreme Court directed: "List before Delhi High Court on March 3. Within 7 days of this order registrar of each High Court should send the papers (of the concerned case pending before them) to Delhi High Court,".
Now, all the petitions concerning the CLAT UG exam are pending before Delhi, Rajasthan and Punjab and Haryana High Courts will be handled by the Delhi High Court.
In its last hearing conducted on January 15, the SC refused to entertain the candidate’s plea and indicated that all the CLAT 2025 cases pending at various High Courts may be transferred to the Punjab and Haryana HC. The SC passed an order as under:
"Prima facie, we are of the opinion that the writ petitions pending in different High Courts should be dealt with by one High 1 TP(C) Nos. 46-54/2025 Court, as it would be expeditious and would also prevent contradictory judgments. Issue notice on the prayer for transfer as well as on the application for appointment of a guardian, returnable in the week commencing 03.02.2025. Notice will be served through the counsel, who are appearing for the respective writ petitioners before different High Courts. Notwithstanding the pendency of the present petition, the parties may complete the pleadings in the respective writ petitions."
Matters Pending Before Different High Courts
The table below provides a list of various petitions filed by candidates that are pending at various High Courts in the country.
List of CLAT 2025 Cases
| Court | Case | Petition filed by |
|---|---|---|
Delhi High Court | Mistakes in CLAT UG answer key | Aditya Singh |
Bombay High Court | Mistakes in CLAT PG answer key and exorbitant cost to raise objections | Anam Khan |
Madhya Pradesh High Court | Mistakes in CLAT PG answer key and high cost of raising objections | Ayush Agarwal |
Court Verdict So Far on CLAT 2025 Answer Key and Result
So far, the Delhi HC has made two changes in the CLAT 2025 UG answer key based on the petition filed by Aditya Singh and directed the Consortium of NLUs to publish the revised result. However, the candidate has moved to the SC as three of his remaining objections were rejected by the HC. The consortium is opposing the HC verdict and argues that the CLAT 2025 answer key is prepared by experts and that the court cannot act as an academic expert and interfere in the matter.

Have a question related to CLAT ?
Hello,
With a score of 82 in CLAT 2026 under the EWS category, you do have a chance at getting into decent NLUs, but it may depend on the specific NLU and the cut-offs for this year.
Generally:
-
Top NLUs (like NLSIU, NALSAR, NUJS, WBNUJS) usually have higher cut-offs, so 82 might be below their usual EWS opening rank.
-
Mid-tier NLUs (like HNLU, GNLU, RMLNLU, NLUJ) could be within reach.
-
Lower-ranked NLUs and state NLUs are more likely to accept your score.
Your best step is to check the previous years’ EWS cut-offs for each NLU to see where your rank might fit.
Hope it helps !
Hello,
NUJS is among the top tier law colleges in the country. A high score in CLAT is required to get into NUJS. For you, getting into NUJS is possible but challenging. The cut off for general category often is very high (+90), but you WB domicile improves your chances for admission. Keep an eye on the final rank list and cut off.
Thank you.
Hello
With a score of 91.5 in CLAT UG 2026, your expected All India Rank would likely fall somewhere around AIR 500 to 1,000, based on previous years’ trends. The exact rank can shift depending on how tough the paper was and how other students performed. Since you belong to the OBC category, your category rank will be even better. This score definitely keeps you in a competitive range for several NLUs.
Hello,
CLAT or Common Law Admission Test is conducted for admission to top tier law colleges in India. The exam is conducted by Consortium of National Law Universities. While NLU's are generally not available for admission at this rank but there are many private colleges which offer good legal education and placements. JINDAL, UPES, Amity Law School, Lovely Professional University, IFIM Law School, Alliance University and many more. For more information you can check out the official website of Careers360.

Thank you.
If you are expecting around 80 marks in CLAT 2026, your chances will mainly depend on that year’s overall difficulty level and how the marks translate into ranks. In most years, a score around 80 usually places candidates somewhere in the mid-rank range, which means that the top NLUs like NLSIU Bengaluru, NALSAR Hyderabad or WBNUJS Kolkata are generally difficult to get at this score. However, some of the newer or mid-tier NLUs may still be possible depending on cut-offs, reservation category, and seat availability during later rounds. Students with similar scores in past years have sometimes received calls from NLUs such as NLU Jabalpur, NLU Assam, NLU Tripura, NLU Aurangabad, or NLU Shimla, but the exact possibilities shift every year. Treat this score as competitive but not in the top bracket, and wait for the official ranks to get a clearer picture of which options are realistically open. All the best!
