Yajas Sen’s previous petition on CLAT 2025 results

Yajat Sen had previously also filed a writ petition (civil) 4375/2025 where he challenged question number 79 of the master booklet. He argued that the question was ‘out of syllabus’ as it required “prior legal knowledge”. However, the Delhi HC court had rejected his petition citing, “Though we appreciate the arguments rendered by the petitioner-inperson, yet we are not inclined to interfere with the objections raised qua Question no.79 of the Master Booklet. This Court is not inclined to interfere for the reason that the petitioner-in-person never objected at all when the respondent/Consortium had provided a window period for raising such objections post publication of the provisional answer key. This lacunae/default propels this Court to not interfere in the final answer key as declared by the respondent/Consortium, lest it may have a deleterious effect and work to the disadvantage of the candidates who may have attempted and given the correct answers…”

Delhi HC to also hear Ayanna Yadav’s plea regarding CLAT 2025

Another writ petition that is listed for hearing is one from Ayanna Yadav. The writ petition (civil) 3369/2025 argued that the candidate was not allowed to underline passages in the question paper which affected the candidate’s performance. This matter is listed as item number 27 in the Delhi HC advance cause list for May 26, 2025. However, this petition does not challenge the CLAT 2025 answer key like the previous one. It has been filed against the Union of India and ORS.

Questions related to CLAT

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to CLAT ?

Hello,

With a score of 82 in CLAT 2026 under the EWS category, you do have a chance at getting into decent NLUs, but it may depend on the specific NLU and the cut-offs for this year.

Generally:

  • Top NLUs (like NLSIU, NALSAR, NUJS, WBNUJS) usually have higher cut-offs, so 82 might be below their usual EWS opening rank.

  • Mid-tier NLUs (like HNLU, GNLU, RMLNLU, NLUJ) could be within reach.

  • Lower-ranked NLUs and state NLUs are more likely to accept your score.

Your best step is to check the previous years’ EWS cut-offs for each NLU to see where your rank might fit.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

NUJS is among the top tier law colleges in the country. A high score in CLAT is required to get into NUJS. For you, getting into NUJS is possible but challenging. The cut off for general category often is very high (+90), but you WB domicile improves your chances for admission. Keep an eye on the final rank list and cut off.

Thank you.

Hello

With a score of 91.5 in CLAT UG 2026, your expected All India Rank would likely fall somewhere around AIR 500 to 1,000, based on previous years’ trends. The exact rank can shift depending on how tough the paper was and how other students performed. Since you belong to the OBC category, your category rank will be even better. This score definitely keeps you in a competitive range for several NLUs.

CLAT RANK PREDICTOR 2026

Hello,

CLAT or Common Law Admission Test is conducted for admission to top tier law colleges in India. The exam is conducted by Consortium of National Law Universities. While NLU's are generally not available for admission at this rank but there are many private colleges which offer good legal education and placements. JINDAL, UPES, Amity Law School, Lovely Professional University, IFIM Law School, Alliance University and many more. For more information you can check out the official website of Careers360.

Thank you.

If you are expecting around 80 marks in CLAT 2026, your chances will mainly depend on that year’s overall difficulty level and how the marks translate into ranks. In most years, a score around 80 usually places candidates somewhere in the mid-rank range, which means that the top NLUs like NLSIU Bengaluru, NALSAR Hyderabad or WBNUJS Kolkata are generally difficult to get at this score. However, some of the newer or mid-tier NLUs may still be possible depending on cut-offs, reservation category, and seat availability during later rounds. Students with similar scores in past years have sometimes received calls from NLUs such as NLU Jabalpur, NLU Assam, NLU Tripura, NLU Aurangabad, or NLU Shimla, but the exact possibilities shift every year. Treat this score as competitive but not in the top bracket, and wait for the official ranks to get a clearer picture of which options are realistically open. All the best!
