In a significant relief for Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) aspirants, the Delhi High Court on Wednesday ordered the Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLUs) to revise the marksheets and republish the final results for CLAT UG-2025 within four weeks.
The direction was issued by a division bench comprising Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, which accepted certain objections raised by the petitioners regarding errors in the CLAT UG-2025 question paper, while dismissing some others. A detailed judgment is awaited.
The ruling came in response to a batch of petitions filed by candidates who appeared for the national-level entrance exam held on December 1, 2024, and who challenged specific questions alleging inaccuracy and ambiguity. The results were declared on December 7, 2024.
The High Court had concluded hearings on the issue on April 9, after hearing arguments from the petitioners’ counsel as well as the Consortium’s legal representatives. However, the court has yet to hear separate petitions challenging questions from CLAT PG-2025.
Earlier, multiple pleas were filed across various high courts, prompting the Supreme Court on February 6 to transfer all such cases to the Delhi High Court for a unified and consistent adjudication. The transfer was sought by the Consortium to avoid conflicting rulings.
CLAT is the primary entrance examination for admission to five-year integrated LLB and postgraduate LLM programmes in National Law Universities (NLUs) across India.
