The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2025, held on December 1, 2024, has been embroiled in legal controversies following allegations of errors in the CLAT 2025 answer key and procedural lapses during the examination process.​ A pivotal moment occurred when the Delhi High Court, on December 20, 2024, directed the Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLU) to revise the CLAT 2025 results due to identified errors in two questions of the final answer key. Justice Jyoti Singh emphasized that ignoring these errors would result in injustice to the candidates.​

In response, the Consortium announced plans to approach the Supreme Court seeking relief from the High Court's directive, leading to the postponement of the counselling process. An official notice stated that a revised schedule would be released following the resolution of the appeal. The SC directed the Delhi HC to continue the hearing and come to conclusion as soon as possible to avoid further delay.

Students' Demand for Re-examination

The culmination of these issues has led to a significant portion of students, as reflected in the Shiksha poll, calling for the CLAT 2025 to be reconducted. They argue that the current process has been compromised, and a fresh examination would ensure fairness and restore confidence in the system.​

As the legal proceedings continue and the Consortium awaits the Delhi High Court's decision, thousands of aspirants remain in a state of uncertainty, hoping for a resolution that upholds the principles of justice and transparency.​

Allegations of Procedural Irregularities

Beyond the answer key discrepancies, candidates have raised concerns about procedural lapses during the examination. Petitioners Anam Khan and Ayush Agarwal approached the Supreme Court, alleging unequal treatment, citing instances where candidates received question booklets and OMR sheets at different times, potentially affecting performance. They also criticized the limited timeframe and high fees for raising objections to the provisional answer key.​

The Consortium's handling of grievances has been under scrutiny, with students and educators highlighting a lack of transparency and inadequate redressal mechanisms. Critics argue that the Consortium's approach has eroded trust among aspirants, many of whom have invested significant time and resources preparing for the examination.​
