CLAT Application Date:01 Aug' 25 - 31 Oct' 25
The Consortium of National Law Universities has published an important update on the Supreme Court order that stayed the Delhi HC judgement. On April 30, the SC while hearing the case of Siddhi Sandeep Ladda Vs Consortium of NLUs and another stayed the Delhi HC order that directed the Consortium to publish the CLAT 2025 revised result within four weeks. Now, it has issued a notification that the next CLAT 2025 SC hearing in the matter will be conducted on May 5, 2025. Get all details about the case and the consortium’s update in this article.
As per the Delhi HC judgement, the CLAT 2025 answer key for four questions in the CLAT UG have been revised. This revision is expected to cause an increase of up to 4 marks and decrease of up to 2.25 marks in the candidate’s final score.
The notification issued by the Consortium of NLUs states that the next SC hearing in the matter is scheduled on May 5, 2025. The consortium has also directed all the petitioners in the CLAT UG to make necessary arrangements for their representation before the Court.
The SC stay order has been issued in response to a Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by Siddhi Sandeep Ladda. She secured AIR 22 in the result declared on December 7 after attempting Set A of the CLAT 2025 question paper.
The petitioner argues that the Delhi HC judgement puts candidates who attempted Set A at a disadvantage when compared to candidates who attempted Set B,C and D.

On Question asked by student community
It is always better to take the CLAT exam right after Class 12 if your goal is to build a career in law, because CLAT UG is specifically designed for admission into integrated five-year law programs like BA LLB, BCom LLB, or BBA LLB. Appearing after Class 12 saves you time, as you complete both graduation and law together in a single course. On the other hand, if you first complete graduation and then plan for law, you will not be eligible for CLAT UG but instead for CLAT PG, which is meant for admission into LLM programs. This path takes longer, because you first spend three or four years on graduation and then add another three years in an LLB program if you choose not to go for an integrated course. So, if you are already sure about pursuing law as your career, writing CLAT right after Class 12 is the smarter and time-saving option, while writing it after graduation makes sense only if you are considering higher studies in law or a shift in career later.
For CLAT, the most important topics are from Legal Reasoning, Current Affairs & GK, the Indian Constitution, English Language, Quantitative Techniques and Logical Reasoning. For a brief detail you can go through the following link: https://law.careers360.com/articles/clat-important-topics
Thank You.
Hi dear candidate,
Both the colleges Maharaja Agrasen (MAIMS) or Gitarattan (GIBS) are affiliated to IP University and allows admission either by CLAT or IPU CET Law. Without either of these exams, your admission is NOT accepted there. You can try looking for management quota seats in these colleges if you have got good marks in 12th class.

Right now there is no official e-guide for CLAT 2026 released by the Consortium of NLUs. They usually provide sample questions and model papers closer to the exam, but not a complete guide at this stage.
You can still prepare using free study material available online. Many websites provide free downloadable PDFs, mock tests, and previous year papers that will help you understand the pattern and practice important topics.
If you want a structured book, there are two good options. The Oswaal CLAT & AILET guide has past year solved papers, topic-wise questions, and mock tests. The Arihant CLAT Conqueror book has more than 3000 practice questions with solutions. Both are helpful depending on whether you prefer solved papers or more practice questions.
