    Drop Upto 2000 Ranks in CLAT 2025 Revised Result? Make Sure It's Not You

    Sumeet SudarshanUpdated on 03 Apr 2025, 12:20 PM IST

    The Consortium of National Law Universities is expected to publish the revised CLAT 2025 results soon. As per an earlier order issued by the Delhi HC, two answers in the CLAT 2025 final answer key have been revised. This revision will change a candidate’s CLAT 2025 result and is expected to cause a significant shift in the candidate’s rank on the merit list. In this article, let’s see how much a candidate’s rank can drop in the worst-case scenario.

    Determining Factors for Rank Drop in Merit List

    Whether a candidate’s rank drops significantly in the CLAT merit list will depend on which option the candidate had marked for the two questions revised by the Delhi HC. The answer to Q.no 14 (Set A) was changed, while Q.no 100 (Set A) was withdrawn. There are several possibilities here, which are given below.

    Q. 14 - Answer Changed from Option D to C

    • Candidate did not attempt the question - In this case, there will not be any change in the rank

    • Candidate marked an option other than C or D- In this case, there will not be any change in the rank.

    • Candidate marked Option D - In this case, the candidate’s marks will decrease, causing a decline in the rankings.

    • Candidate marked Option C - In this case, the candidate’s marks will see a significant increase and a corresponding rise in rankings
