The Delhi HC pronounced the CLAT PG judgment on June 6, 2025, and directed the consortium of NLUs to revise answers to two of the three questions under review. Additionally, the Consortium of NLUs has withdrawn 5 questions on its own volition. These changes in the CLAT PG revised final answer key will cause a significant change in the candidates’ scores in the CLAT PG revised result. The extent of impact is such that a candidate’s rank can increase or decline by up to 2000 ranks in the revised CLAT PG merit list. In this article, let’s find out how.
The Consortium of NLUs will notify the revised result and restart the CLAT PG counselling soon for admission into LLM programmes of participating NLUs.
In its CLAT PG judgement, the Delhi HC has ordered revisions in the answer key to two of the questions while rejecting one of the objections. The three questions in CLAT PG considered by the Delhi HC were Q. no. 21, 57, and 58 from the master booklet. The details are given below.
Question | Answer as the Consortium’s answer key | Answer As Per the HC |
21 | Option B | Option C |
57 | Option A | Option A |
98 | Option A | Option B |
The table below explains the impact of the HC judgement on three questions on the final CLAT PG 2025 score. Due to the judgment, a candidate's score can increase or decrease by up to 2.5 marks.
Question number | Positive Impact | Negative Impact |
21 | +1.25 marks for option C | -1.25 marks for option B |
57 | Nil | Nil |
98 | +1.25 marks if selected option B | -1.25 marks if selected option A |
In addition to the 3 questions considered by the Delhi HC, the Consortium of NLUs has also withdrawn 5 questions on its own volition after meetings with the candidates. The impact of the withdrawn questions is given below.
Particulars | Positive Impact | Negative Impact |
Q. 56 + 4other withdrawn questions | +0.25 marks per question for marking the wrong answer as per the consortium’s answer key | -1 mark per question for marking the correct answer as per the consortium’s answer key |

Particulars | Details |
Maximum Positive Impact on Score | +3.75 marks |
Maximum Negative Impact on Score | -7.5 marks |
The table below shows the CLAT PG marks vs rank comparison, which provides the expected corresponding rank for various scores in the CLAT PG revised result. The comparison indicates that a candidate’s rank can drop by as much as 2000 places due to the maximum negative impact of -7.5 marks on the final score.
