    Calcutta University BA LLB 2025 Exam Date

    Calcutta University will conduct the CULET 2025 in offline mode. The exam will be conducted tentatively in the fourth week of August 2025. The CU BA LLB 2025 exam will test candidates on GK & current affairs, reasoning, maths and English language.

There will be no negative marking in CULET 2025.

    Why has the CULET 2025 exam been delayed?

    The CULET 2025 exam has been delayed for over a month because of an ongoing legal dispute over OBC categorisation in West Bengal. In 2024, the Calcutta High Court scrapped the state’s OBC reservation list prepared after 210, and a subsequent stay was placed on a revised list on June 18, 2025. This dispute has halted the preparation of merit lists and delayed the admission process across various universities and courses in the state, including CULET. The Supreme Court was scheduled to hear the West Bengal government’s petition challenging the High Court’s order on July 15, 2025, but the hearing was postponed, further delaying the resolution. However, the ongoing court cases and their outcomes will continue to influence the final schedulting and admission process.
