    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.
