The counselling fee for CLAT 2025 is INR 30,000 for general/OBC category, and INR 20,000, for SC/ST/OBC/BC/EWS/PWD categories. The CLAT counselling fee can only be paid in online mode on the official website of the law entrance exam. The counselling fee candidate need to pay as a token amount against their allotted seat to secure it. After this, candidates will be required to pay the remaining fee against their course, which is the tuition fee+ non-refundable charges+ refundable charges and more. In case, candidates choose to withdraw / exit from their allotted after they freeze/ float, and have paid the counselling fee, then they will get a refund of their amount after deduction of INR 5,000 from it. However, full amount will be refunded only in case when the candidate did not freeze/ float their allotted seat.

The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) will conduct CLAT 2025 counselling in online mode. The whole counselling process for CLAT is conducted in online mode. Candidates have to register online to participate in the counselling. Eligible candidates who qualify the exam can register on the official website for the counselling. After that, they have to pay fee to complete the registration process. After registration, candidates have to declare choices for college and course seeking admission into. 

During CLAT counselling, candidates will be provided the option to choose from three options; i.e. freeze, float and exit. Candidates can understand all options below:

Freeze Option: In case a candidate is happy with the seat alloted to him/her then they can freeze it. With this they won't be allowed to appear in the further rounds of counselling. If a candidate freezes the seat, it means that the candidate is confirming their seat at the allotted National Law University (NLU).

Float Option: If a candidate is not happy with the seat allotted to them and wants to pariticpate in further rounds of counselling they can select the float option. This option mean that candidate is accepting the seat allotted to them but is willing to pariticpate in further rouns of counselling for a better college. Candidate must note that in case they choose the float option and is allotted a seat in the next round then the seat allotted in the previous round will be forfeited.

Exit Option: During the counselling process, if a candidate feels that they don't want to pariticipate further, then they may choose an option to exit. If they choose this option, it means that they are withdrawing from the counselling process and they will not be considered for further round of counselling. 

CLAT 2025 Invite List refers to the list of qualifying candidates who are eligible to participate in the counselling process. The CLAT 2025 invite list will be declared by the Consortium after the announcement of the CLAT 2025 merit list.

The major difference between CLAT 2025 ranks and marks is: 

• Marks are consolidated scores obtained in the CLAT exam
• Ranks are positioned in each category based on marks and tie-breaking criteria

Therefore, it becomes essential for a candidate to score well in the CLAT exam, to get a higher rank in the merit list. Candidates must do CLAT marks versus ranks analysis to understand how the score they have secured can be converted into CLAT 2025 merit rank. CLAT marks versus rank analysis will help candidates get an idea about the expected ranks as per their scores. 

The CLAT 2025 seat allotment list will include the following information:

1. Name of the candidate selected for admission.
2. All India Rank (AIR) of the selected candidates.
3. Category of the candidates, including both vertical and horizontal classifications.
4. Admit card number and application number of the selected candidates.

The major difference between CLAT 2025 ranks and marks is: 

• Marks are consolidated scores obtained in the CLAT exam
• Ranks are positioned in each category on the basis of marks and tie-breaking criteria

Therefore, it becomes essential for a candidate to score well in CLAT exam, in order to get a higher rank in the merit list.

The recent revision of the CLAT 2025 results, following changes in the final answer key, is set to significantly affect candidates across multiple fronts:

Rank Alterations: Modifications in the final answer key have directly influenced candidates’ scores, leading to changes in the All India Ranks (AIR). This could alter NLU allotments for many aspirants.

CLAT 2025 Cut-off Shifts: As ranks change, the cut-offs for various National Law Universities (NLUs) may shift. Some candidates who initially secured a seat might now fall short, while others may newly qualify.

Delayed CLAT Counselling: The revision of the merit list has already pushed back the counselling schedule. This delay may cascade into the overall academic calendar for NLUs, affecting admissions and onboarding processes.

Potential for Further Legal Action: Candidates dissatisfied with the revised results may seek legal redress, potentially prolonging the uncertainty and delaying the admission cycle even further.

Stricter Evaluation Protocols Ahead: To prevent similar issues in future editions, the Consortium is expected to tighten its procedures—especially regarding answer key objections and result review mechanisms.

This development has created a ripple effect, impacting thousands of law aspirants. Candidates are advised to stay updated through official channels and prepare for possible changes in their admission trajectory.

• April 7, 2025: The Delhi High Court is set to hear multiple petitions challenging the CLAT 2025 results. The outcome may significantly impact the counselling process, which remains on hold pending the court's decision. ​

Candidates are advised to stay updated through official channels for further developments.

While the Delhi High Court continues to hear petitions related to the CLAT 2025 result, many candidates are also wondering about the passing marks for the exam. It’s important to note that CLAT does not have any official "passing marks" or minimum qualifying score. Admission is purely rank-based, determined by a candidate’s performance relative to others.

However, candidates must score higher than the cut-off marks released by each National Law University (NLU) to secure a seat. These cut-offs vary annually based on factors like:

• Difficulty level of the exam
• Number of applicants
• Seat availability
• Reservation category

The outcome of the court hearing could potentially impact the result rankings and merit list, which in turn may influence these cut-offs. Stay tuned for updates once the hearing concludes.

The CLAT 2025 counselling process will begin only after the Delhi High Court delivers its verdict. Until the court issues a final order, the counselling timeline remains uncertain, and candidates will have to wait for further instructions from the Consortium.

The CLAT 2025 counselling process is currently on hold as the Delhi High Court prepares to hear multiple petitions on April 7, 2025, challenging the exam’s evaluation process. Allegations of errors in the final answer key, normalization issues, and incorrect question assessments have raised concerns among candidates. The court has directed the Consortium of NLUs to submit a response, and its verdict could significantly impact the merit list and counselling schedule. If a result revision is ordered, counselling dates may be delayed or restructured, affecting admissions across participating law universities. Aspirants are advised to monitor updates closely.

The CLAT Exam was conducted on December 1, 2024, in a two-hour slot from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The exam was held for admission to undergraduate and postgraduate law programmes offered by participating National Law Universities (NLUs).

The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) is expected to announce the CLAT UG 2025 counselling schedule once the ongoing court proceedings conclude. The counselling will be conducted for admission to various law courses offered by participating NLUs.

CLAT 2025 Invite List refers to the list of qualifying candidates who are eligible to participate in the counselling process. The CLAT 2025 invite list will be declared by the Consortium after the announcement of the CLAT 2025 merit list.

During CLAT counselling, candidates will be provided the option to choose from three options; i.e. freeze, float and exit. Candidates can understand all options below:

During the hearing, Senior Advocate Rajshekhar Rao, appearing for the Consortium of NLUs, informed the Delhi High Court that two subject matter experts had differing views on one of the contested questions. He noted, “There is a split opinion,” and clarified that the question, which pertains to logical verbal reasoning involving homeless individuals, was improperly framed.

During Delhi High Court hearing, a petitioner appeared virtually to argue that a legal reasoning question on Contract Law was beyond the prescribed syllabus. He claimed it required prior legal knowledge of terms like "void agreements" and "consideration." Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya questioned the Consortium’s expectations from Class 12 students, stating, “You are testing legal understanding of a Class 12 student. Will they know what 'consideration' under Contract Law means?” The remarks highlighted concerns about the appropriateness of certain questions for undergraduate-level aspirants.

While the CLAT result 2025 hearings are still underway, and there is no decision yet on the result revision, it is suggested that candidates who took the exam should wait for the final verdict, which is expected in April 2025. Moreover, candidates who are sure about their qualification in the exam should prepare for admissions to the NLUs and those who are not sure should brush up their preparations for the next session of CLAT exam.

The CLAT 2025 exam was held on December 1, 2025 for admissions to undergraduate and postgraduate law courses in national law universities (NLUs) across India. The CLAT results and answer keys were released on December 7, 2024. However, post the result declaration, several candidates filed petitions in the court claiming that there were errors in the question paper and answer key. This led to court hearings against the CLAT results.

The high court bench will hear the petitions against questions in CLAT PG-2025 on April 21, 2025. In the previous hearing, held on April 9, 2025, the high court discussed the pleas in connection with the CLAT UG 2025 exam.

The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) must ensure the appointment of more qualified and capable paper setters in the future. The observation was made during the forenoon session of today’s hearing, as the court examined the objections raised against specific questions in the CLAT UG 2025 exam.

The CLAT scorecard 2025 will contain the following exam information:

• Name
• Father's Name
• Roll Number
• Application Number
• Category (General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.)
• CLAT 2025 sectional and overall scores
• All India Rank (AIR)
• Category Rank

In case, two or more candidates score the same marks in CLAT 2025, the Consortium will follow the sequence given below to decide the merit rank for CLAT Result:

The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2025 for undergraduate programs was conducted on December 1, 2024, with results announced on December 7, 2024. Subsequently, the results faced legal challenges due to alleged inaccuracies in the answer key. On December 20, 2024, the Delhi High Court identified errors in questions 14 and 100 of Set A, directing the Consortium of National Law Universities to revise the answer key and update the results accordingly. This decision was upheld by a division bench on December 24, 2024. Further petitions regarding the results were transferred to the Delhi High Court by the Supreme Court on February 6, 2025.

In the ongoing CLAT 2025 hearing, the counsel representing the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) argued that judicial interference in exam results is limited to instances where the contested answers are “palpably, demonstrably, and ex facie wrong.” He concluded his submissions pertaining to the petitions challenging the undergraduate (UG) CLAT 2025 results.

Step 2: Enter mobile number and password.

Step 3: Click on Login.

Step 4: Check the seat allotment result.

Note: There are 3, 213 seats for UG courses, and 1,217 seats for PG courses. The candidates who qualified CLAT 2025 will be shortlisted for admission rounds after they complete counseling registration and eligibility-related documentation. 

During the CLAT 2025 UG hearing, the counsel for the Consortium of NLUs acknowledged that one of the questions in the undergraduate paper was “wrongly formulated.” He informed the court that the question had not been referred to the Oversight Committee, as it had already been cleared by subject experts.

During the Delhi High Court hearing on CLAT 2025, the petitioners' counsel pointed out that candidates were given only a 24-hour window to challenge questions in the exam—a duration they argued was insufficient for a thorough review.

They also highlighted the impact of the CLAT marking scheme, which includes 0.25 negative marking for each wrong answer, making every error significant. With a total of 120 questions in the paper, even minor discrepancies could affect merit rankings and admissions, the counsel submitted.

CLAT 2025 merit list will be released by the Consortium of National Law Universities, mentioning the names and ranks of candidates shortlisted for the seat allotment process. The Consortium of NLUs will publish CLAT 2025 invite list once the CLAT Result 2025 is announced. 

If the CLAT 2025 results are revised, candidate rankings are expected to shift. Corrections in evaluation could lead to improved merit positions for some, while others may see a drop. Since NLU seat allotments and cut-offs are determined by rank, any changes in the results will have a direct bearing on admissions.

Appearing before the Delhi High Court, the counsel representing another CLAT UG 2025 candidate questioned the validity of one of the exam questions. The argument centers on whether the question was correctly framed and evaluated.

During the Tuesday hearing in the Delhi High Court, counsel for petitioner Aditya Singh argued that the Oversight Committee overlooked key questions raised in the plea. “The oversight committee has not even dealt with the questions,” the counsel stated, as reported by Bar and Bench on X.

Following the conclusion of arguments in the CLAT 2025 UG batch petitions, the Delhi High Court has now scheduled the hearing for CLAT PG-related matters on the next date of hearing – April 21, 2025. The court will begin addressing submissions in the pending postgraduate (PG) petitions, which are expected to include similar concerns over exam quality, key discrepancies, and result-related challenges.

The Delhi High Court has reserved its verdict in the batch of petitions concerning the CLAT 2025 UG exam. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela has completed hearing arguments from both the petitioners and the Consortium of NLUs.

The court has heard all arguments from both sides. It will not announce the decision immediately. The judges will now deliberate privately and issue a final judgment at a later date. This concludes the UG-related proceedings. Any updates on the final decision will be awaited in the coming days.

During the CLAT 2025 hearing, a petitioner’s counsel suggested awarding grace marks as a potential remedy for errors in the exam. In response, Justice Tushar Rao Gedela remarked, “How can we assess that? You may be entitled to damages or something like that.” The court’s remark reflects the challenge of quantifying the impact of alleged flaws while also hinting that alternative remedies beyond grace marks may be more appropriate in such cases.

During the ongoing CLAT 2025 hearing, a petitioner's counsel suggested that grace marks could be a possible remedy for the alleged flawed questions in the exam. Responding to this, Justice Tushar Rao Gedela remarked, “How can we assess that? You may be entitled to damages or something like that.” The Bench’s observation signals judicial caution in interfering with the marking process, even as it acknowledged the petitioners' concerns over fairness and evaluation.

During the Delhi High Court hearing on CLAT 2025, a petitioner raised concerns about being instructed to erase underlining on his question paper during the exam. His counsel argued that the candidate had followed the exam guidelines issued on the earlier test date, which permitted such markings. The interruption, he claimed, disrupted his focus and consumed valuable time. "My performance was impacted, time was wasted," the petitioner told the court. The issue highlights inconsistencies in the conduct of the exam across different test centres.

During the ongoing CLAT 2025 hearing, the Delhi High Court Bench has consistently asked each petitioner whether they submitted objections within the designated timeframe. The Consortium of NLUs had provided only a 24-hour window for candidates to challenge the provisional answer key, requiring a payment of ₹1,000 per question.

The court is scrutinizing whether petitioners followed due process before approaching the judiciary, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the Consortium’s prescribed mechanism for raising exam-related grievances.

During the CLAT 2025 hearing, Justice Tushar Rao Gedela addressed concerns raised over confusing questions in the exam. Responding to a petitioner’s objection, he remarked, “They have a right to confuse you—otherwise, what capability are they testing?”

The observation came as candidates questioned the clarity and fairness of certain logical reasoning and comprehension-based questions. The Bench emphasized that the purpose of such entrance exams is to assess reasoning and analytical skills, even if it means presenting challenging or ambiguous options.

During the Delhi High Court hearing on CLAT 2025, a petitioner raised concerns over a legal reasoning question based on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act.

He argued that the passage made only a brief reference to the legislative process, yet the question asked, “A bill becomes an Act only when…?”

“The information needed to answer this is not in the passage. This again goes beyond the prescribed syllabus,” the petitioner told the Bench, questioning the relevance and fairness of the question.

During the ongoing CLAT 2025 hearing in the Delhi High Court, a petitioner argued that a legal reasoning question required knowledge beyond what was provided in the passage.

“The word ‘consideration’ doesn’t appear in the passage. The answer cannot be derived from the passage, making it out of syllabus,” the petitioner submitted.

Another candidate also supported the claim, alleging that the question paper included content outside the Consortium’s prescribed syllabus, raising concerns over fairness and transparency in the exam process.

A petitioner appearing virtually today took the Delhi High Court through a legal reasoning question in Set A, related to void and voidable agreements under the Indian Contract Act.

Petitioner: “Nowhere in the question has the provision regarding contracts with a minor been mentioned. To answer this, the student would need prior knowledge of the Contract Act.”

Justice Gedela: “So, your argument is that it was out of syllabus?”

Petitioner: “Yes, it clearly breaches the Consortium’s own declared syllabus.”

The petitioner also informed the court of the option he selected for the passage-based question.

While reviewing a disputed logical reasoning question from the CLAT 2025 paper, Justice Tushar Rao Gedela emphasized the importance of relying solely on the passage for answering.

“This is your inference,” he noted, addressing the petitioner’s counsel. “To confuse you, the question refers to statistics in the USA. How do you say option C is incorrect and D is correct? You are required to answer based on the passage, not the data you carry. It is logical reasoning.”

During the Delhi High Court hearing on CLAT 2025, another petitioner expressed dissatisfaction with the revised final answer key. The counsel argued that the provisional key had the correct answer, which was later altered in the final version.

“That was the reason for not challenging the question initially,” the counsel explained, adding that the question in dispute involved a split view, and therefore the correct response should have been ‘All of the above’.

The next petitioner, who attempted Set C of the CLAT 2025 paper, appeared before the Delhi High Court. Justice Gedela asked, “Did you raise the objections?” The counsel confirmed, “Yes, I raised the objection in time.”

Counsel for another candidate appeared before the Delhi High Court, raising objections over the same disputed question in Set D. He informed the bench that the objection was duly filed within the 24-hour window provided by the Consortium for raising challenges to the answer key.

During the ongoing CLAT 2025 result hearing in the Delhi High Court, the petitioners' counsel took the bench through a specific question that, according to them, erroneously referenced another question from a different set of the exam. The inconsistency, they argued, highlighted further flaws in the paper-setting process.

However, Justice Tushar Rao Gedela remarked, "This is never ending. The cut-off date is sanctified. Another person would challenge another question," signaling the court’s growing concern over the escalating number of disputes and the need to conclude the matter soon.

During the hearing in the Delhi High Court, counsel for petitioner Aditya Singh argued that the Oversight Committee overlooked key questions raised in the plea. “The oversight committee has not even dealt with the questions,” the counsel stated, as reported by Bar and Bench on X.

The Court is hearing arguments of a petitioner whose  petition was transferred from Jharkhand High Court.
