CLAT 2025 Result Live Updates: Supreme Court To Hear CLAT Pleas on May 5, Put Stay On Delhi HC order

Due to these changes, CLAT 2025 cut-offs are also expected to undergo revision. The impact may include:

• Candidates earlier within the cut-off range may now fall short
• New candidates may find themselves eligible for preferred NLUs
• Revised CLAT 2025 merit lists could affect category-wise reservations and seat allotments

To understand how the revision of CLAT Score will impacts your final score, let’s recap the CLAT 2025 marking scheme:

• Correct Answer: +1 mark
• Incorrect Answer: -0.25 mark (negative marking)
• Unattempted Question: 0 mark

Thus, even minor changes in the answer key can shift your total score significantly — especially when the difference between ranks is often just a few decimal points.

Candidates participating in CLAT 2025 counselling must keep the following documents ready:

• Class 10 and 12 mark sheets
• CLAT 2025 admit card
• Transfer certificate
• Migration certificate
• Caste certificate (if applicable)
• Income certificate (if applicable)
• Domicile certificate (if applicable)

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 April 23, 2025, the Delhi HC has directed the Consortium to publish the CLAT 2025 Revised Result within four weeks. However, with the Supreme Court issuing an interim stay on the Delhi High Court's directive, the existing CLAT-UG 2025 merit list will remain unchanged for now. No revisions or re-evaluations will be carried out until the apex court delivers further instructions.

The seat intake for all participating NLUs accepting CLAT 2025 scores is as under:

The Consortium has announced in a notification that it will be releasing the CLAT Revised Counselling Dates 2025 anytime soon. 

General Category: The opening and closing ranks can vary significantly, with top NLUs such as NLSIU Bangalore having an opening rank of 1 and a closing rank of 102.

Earlier, the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) has officially responded to the Delhi High Court's April 23 verdict concerning the revision of CLAT 2025 results. In compliance with the court’s directive, the consortium confirmed that it will revise the answer key for four disputed questions and publish the updated CLAT UG 2025 results within four weeks—by May 21, 2025.

Accepting the High Court’s judgment in full, the consortium stated that it is working towards implementing the revisions. It also assured candidates that an updated notification detailing the revised result release date and counselling schedule will be issued shortly.

With the Supreme Court’s interim stay now in place, the CLAT-UG 2025 merit list as it currently stands will remain unaffected until further orders. 

The petitioner argued that the High Court’s decision discriminates against Set A candidates, violating the principle of equal treatment and giving an unfair edge to others. The SLP was filed by a candidate who attempted Set A and secured an All India Rank (AIR) of 22.The High Court, however, found no errors in Set A, and hence denied any advantage to candidates who attempted that version — causing concerns over fairness.

A bench of Justices B.R. Gavai and A.G. Masih grants stay on the Delhi High Court’s April 23 order directing a revision of the CLAT-UG 2025 merit list. Thestay was passed during the hearing of a Special Leave Petition (SLP) challenging the Delhi High Court’s ruling.

In a significant development affecting thousands of law aspirants, the Supreme Court of India has stayed the Delhi High Court's directive to the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) to revise the CLAT-UG 2025 merit list. This interim order was passed by a bench comprising Justice B R Gavai and Justice A G Masih while issuing notice on a Special Leave Petition challenging the High Court's April 23 decision. ​

The Consortium of NLUs has not announced the CLAT 2025 Revised Result Release Date yet. The decision to revise the result is taken by the Delhi HC during the hearing. 

As of now, the official category-wise opening and closing ranks for CLAT 2025 have not been released. However, based on previous years' data, we can anticipate the following trends for top National Law Universities (NLUs):​

• NLSIU Bengaluru: General category ranks ranged from 1 to 102; OBC from 107 to 971; SC from 372 to 3007; ST from 224 to 7487. ​
• NALSAR Hyderabad: General category ranks ranged from 4 to 167; OBC from 189 to 1116; SC from 319 to 3574; ST from 263 to 6083. ​

The Delhi High Court bench, led by Chief Justice D.K. Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, is conducting an independent hearing on the petitions challenging the CLAT PG 2025 answer key. These petitions pertain specifically to admissions for postgraduate law programmes and are being considered separately from the undergraduate-related matters to ensure focused adjudication on issues unique to the PG exam.

The CLAT score is the total number of marks a candidate secures in the exam, based on correct and incorrect answers (1 mark for each correct, -0.25 for each wrong). The CLAT rank, on the other hand, is the candidate's position in the overall merit list compared to other test-takers. While the score reflects individual performance, the rank determines admission eligibility, as NLUs allot seats based on ranks. Even with the same score, two candidates can have different ranks due to tie-breakers like age or marks in legal aptitude (for PG). Thus, score measures performance; rank decides admission chances.

The CLAT 2025 Revised Cutoff will depend on various factors like:

• Number of Test Takers: A higher number of candidates can lead to increased competition, potentially pushing cutoffs higher.
• Seat Intake at NLUs: The number of available seats at each NLU has a direct impact. Fewer seats can drive the cutoff higher, especially for popular universities.
• Exam Difficulty Level: If the CLAT 2025 paper was tough (as raised in several legal petitions), cutoffs may be relatively lower due to lower average scores.
• Candidate Categories: Cutoffs vary significantly across categories — General, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS — with reserved category candidates typically having lower cutoffs.
• Overall Performance Trends: The average and top scores achieved by candidates also play a role. A high-performing batch could push cutoffs upward.

The CLAT 2025 Revised Scorecard consists of the following information:

• Candidate Name
• Candidate Photograph
• CLAT 2025 Roll Number
