The Delhi High Court's order to revise the CLAT 2025 results due to errors in the question paper has significant implications for all CLAT aspirants. The revised merit list will affect candidate rankings and potentially impact admissions to the five-year LLB courses in National Law Universities (NLUs).

Court’s Position on Judicial Intervention
In response to a petition challenging the CLAT 2025 answer key, the Delhi High Court has taken a firm stance favoring judicial intervention to ensure accuracy and fairness in the evaluation process. The court has refused to interfere with an order directing the Consortium of National Law Universities to revise the CLAT 2025 results due to identified errors in the answer key. The court found "no error" in the single judge's view regarding the incorrect questions and allowed the Consortium to proceed with the result revision.
Consortium’s Response Against the Court's Order
The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) initially challenged the Delhi High Court's order to revise the CLAT 2025 results, but their appeal was rejected. The Consortium argued against the need for re-evaluation, citing potential delays and logistical challenges. However, the court upheld its decision, emphasizing the importance of accuracy and fairness in the evaluation process. Despite their initial resistance, the Consortium has now begun the process of revising the results in compliance with the court's directive.
CLAT 2025 Counselling Reschedule

The counselling process consists of five rounds, during which candidates can register, provide their NLU preferences, and upload necessary documents.
