    A candidate’s rank in the CLAT 2025 merit list is expected to see a drastic shift due to the CLAT 2025 revised result. The CLAT marks vs rank analysis shows that even a 1-2 marks change can lead to change of up to 1000 ranks. In this article let’s look at how a candidate’s rank in the CLAT 2025 merit list is likely to change due to the revised CLAT result after the Delhi HC verdict.

    The Consortium of NLUs is expected to start the CLAT 2025 counselling soon as it has accepted the Delhi HC verdict. The CLAT 2025 merit list will be published for each counselling round.

    How Marks Change in CLAT 2025 Revised Result?

    In the revised result, a candidate’s score can go 4 marks up or 2.25 marks down. A significant shift in the marks is due to the changes ordered in 4 questions by the Delhi HC. In two of the questions, candidates are being awarded full marks even if they marked the wrong answer due to errors in the question. The details of the impact of the HC judgement on CLAT 2025 score is given in the table below.

    What is CLAT Marks vs Rank?

    The CLAT marks vs rank comparison shows the corresponding rank for a particular CLAT 2025 marks. It helps candidates estimate what rank their CLAT 2025 translates into and assess whether they have a good score in CLAT or not.

    The Consortium of NLUs will release the CLAT cut-off in the form of last rank of the shortlisted candidates for each NLU. It is therefore important to for candidates to understand how their rank in the CLAT merit list will change due to the revised result.
