    As shown in the table above, due to the revised CLAT answer key, the final CLAT 2025 score can increase by up to a maximum of 1.5 marks and decrease by a maximum of 2.25 marks. The CLAT marks vs rank analysis shows that a difference of 1-2 marks can make a difference of around 1000 ranks at the lower spectrum of rank list, and a difference of 50-100 ranks at the top end. The maximum shift in the CLAT rank list due to the revised CLAT 2025 result will be +1000 to -10000 if the candidate's score ranges below 90. For scores above 90, the shift is comparatively lesser at -100 to +100.
