The results were made available around 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM on December 16, 2025. This pattern is also familiar from previous cycles. For instance, CLAT 2025 was released on December 7, 2024, around 11 PM, and CLAT 2024 results were released on December 10, 2023, in the night hours. For the Undergraduate (UG) test, evaluation was based on 119 marks instead of 120, as one question was withdrawn in the final answer key.
