Revised CLAT 2025 Results: Understanding Merit List Shifts for Ranks 10,000-15,000 with Change of 1-2 Marks
In an earlier verdict delivered by a single-judge bench of the Delhi HC on December 20, which was later upheld by the division bench, two answers in the CLAT 2025 answer key were modified. Even a change of 1.25 marks per question due to the changes can lead to significant shifts in the candidate’s rank in the CLAT 2025 merit list. In this article, let’s try to understand how the candidate’s rank in the revised results will shift between ranks 10000 to 15000.
The Delhi High Court will hear all the petitions pertaining to CLAT 2025 again on March 3, 2025. It remains to be seen whether it sticks to its earlier verdict and CLAT results will be revised.
Impact of HC Verdict on CLAT 2025 Score
As per the Delhi HC verdict delivered earlier, the answer to Q.no 14 in Set A was changed from D to C while Q. no 100 was withdrawn altogether. Corresponding changes were made in other sets of the CLAT 2025 question paper. The tables given below provide details about how the final CLAT score of the candidate will change due to the revised answer key.
