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.

Questions related to CLAT

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to CLAT ?

Hello,

No, you can't take the CLAT exam in Class 11 because the eligibility criteria require you to be in Class 12 or have already completed Class 12. However, you can start preparing for the exam during your 11th grade, which can be a strategic advantage for getting familiar with the syllabus and improving your performance for the actual exam when you are eligible to appear in Class 12.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,

Yes, if a student is from Telangana, they can apply for a reserved seat in CLAT only if they belong to a reserved category such as SC, ST, OBC, EWS, or PwD, as per the rules of CLAT and the participating National Law Universities (NLUs).

However, please note:

  • CLAT does not have a separate “Telangana state quota.”

  • Reservation is given based on category , not on the state, except in some NLUs that offer domicile (state) reservation for their own state students.

So, if you are from Telangana, you can:

  • Apply under your category reservation (like SC/ST/OBC/EWS) .

  • And you may get Telangana domicile reservation only in those NLUs that are located in Telangana (for example, NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad ).

Hope it helps !
