The Delhi HC conducted the CLAT 2025 hearing on April 7. The hearing remained inconclusive and the court has decided to resume the hearing on April 8. A total of 15 cases are pending in CLAT 2025. In its hearing on March 3, the court had directed the counsels of the petitioners to prepare a common list of writ petitions that pertain to CLAT UG and PG as there are multiple cases pertaining to both exams. The pending cases are from various HCs including Bombay, Calcutta, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Karnataka, and Jharkhand. In the CLAT 2025 Supreme Court judgement on February 6, the SC transferred the CLAT 2025 result petition along with other cases in CLAT UG 2025 to the Delhi High Court for the speedy resolution of the cases. In the hearing conducted on December 24, the Division Bench of Dehli HC upheld the verdict passed by the single-judge bench on the CLAT 2025 final answer key.
As the fate of the CLAT 2025 result hangs in the balance, the earlier HC judgment has also been challenged by the candidate who filed the earlier plea against the consortium. The candidate argues that there are mistakes in the remaining questions 37, 67, and 68 that were earlier rejected by the court. As per the earlier judgement passed by a single judge bench of the Delhi High Court on December 20, the answers to question 14 and question 100 in CLAT 2025 Set A answer key were changed. While the CLAT 2025 final answer key to question 14 has been changed to option C, question 100 has been withdrawn as no options were correct. Read ahead to get more details on the case and also get the latest updates on other petitions being heard at various courts about mistakes in the CLAT 2025 answer key.
During the first hearing on alleged mistakes in the CLAT final answer key, which was published on December 7, the HC had opined that courts, while expected to adopt a hands-off approach towards the conduct of exams such as CLAT, may have to interfere in cases of erroneous questions. Justice Jyoti Singh, who was hearing the petition, pointed out that, “when answers to questions are demonstrably, (palpably) wrong, not interfering would be an injustice to the candidates.”

In one of the questions, which is given below, Justice Singh said that there was a clear answer to a question for which the expert committee had chosen "data inadequate" as the correct answer in the final answer key.
The four options to the above question were 1. Ram, 2. Mohan, 3. Mohit and 4. Data Inadequate. The judge opined that she could see that Sohan (which is not there in the options) was the correct answer to the above question, but the committee had chosen “Data Inadequate" as the correct answer. In such a case, "None of the above" should have been one of the options. Justice Singh further said that if all options are incorrect, candidates must be given the benefit as they cannot be expected to choose the closest answer.
A total of five objections were submitted by the candidates. Out of this the HC has sustained two objections pertaining to question 14 and 100. The remaining three objections have been rejected. The verdict on the two modified questions are given below:

With an All India SC category rank of 1561 in CLAT, you have a strong chance of getting admission into several National Law Universities through the counselling rounds. Based on past year trends, this rank can fetch you a seat in NLUs like NLIU Bhopal, HNLU Raipur, RGNUL Patiala, and possibly even higher-ranked ones like WBNUJS Kolkata or NLU Jodhpur depending on how cutoffs move in the later rounds.
SC category cutoffs for top NLUs tend to vary each year, but many of them have admitted students with SC ranks between 1500 and 3000, especially in rounds 2 and 3. Your chances increase further if you list a wide range of NLUs in your preference order during counselling. Also, make sure to complete all required counselling steps, document verification, and preference locking on time to avoid missing out.
With your rank, you're well-positioned to get a seat—just stay active in the admission process and keep checking updates from the CLAT consortium.
Dear student,
For Delhi University’s BA LLB program through CLAT, EWS category admissions last year (2024) typically closed around a rank of 1100 to 1200. This means if you scored around 90–95 marks in CLAT, you had a good chance of getting in. The exact cut-off can change slightly each year depending on competition and seat availability, but staying within the top 1200 is generally safe for EWS candidates.
The cutoff for DU BA LLB for CLAT ews has not been released yet.You can check the cutoff in this website after notification of release of cutoff - https://clat2024.consortiumofnlus.ac.in/clat-2024/
Yes, you can get direct admission into BBA LLB at VIPS (Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies) with 82 percent in your Class 12 exams, but not without appearing in CLAT or IPU CET.
VIPS is affiliated with Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), and admissions to BBA LLB are done strictly through entrance exams. The primary mode of admission is through CLAT UG, as GGSIPU has adopted CLAT scores for law programs in recent years. Previously, the IPU CET was used for law admissions, but that has been phased out for integrated law courses like BBA LLB.
So, even with a good Class 12 score, you cannot get admission into VIPS for BBA LLB without a valid CLAT score. The university does not allow direct management quota admissions outside the entrance process for its law programs. You may need to wait for the next CLAT attempt or consider private universities that allow direct admission based on 12th marks.
All the best!
Hi Akash,
It is good to see institutions like NMIMS have selected you for master of law based on your CLAT PG scores. If we compare the three then to be very clear:
For the best academic value and recognition choose NMIMS, or the Nirma University is also good. The DNLU is newer and can be considered as well but if we choose any one, then it is NMIMS.
ALL THE BEST !
