The CLAT 2025 SC judgement was delivered on May 7, 2025. The Consortium of NLUs is now expected to release the CLAT revised result soon. The SC judgement can have a major impact on a candidate's rank and affect the admission chances to a particular NLU. It has revised the answers to four questions in CLAT 2025. In this article, let’s try to understand how the revised result can shift a candidate’s rank between CLAT rank 1000 - 5000.
A CLAT rank between 1000 to 5000 puts the candidates in the top 10 percentile. However, it needs to be seen how this will change after the revised result and how candidates fare in the CLAT counselling process..Through the Common Law Admission Test, candidates will be admitted into 5-year LLB programmes of participating NLUs.
The CLAT marks vs rank comparison given below shows the expected marks for ranks between 1000 to 5000.
Ranks | Marks |
1000 | 90.5 |
2000 | 86.75 |
3000 | 84 |
4000 | 81.5 |
5000 | 79.5 |
The Supreme Court has made revisions to four answers in the CLAT 2025 final answer key. Together these questions, along with one question that was changed by the Delhi HC can lead to an increase of up to 3.25 marks or a decrease of up to 4.25 marks. The change in score due to the revisions in the answer key is given below.
Q. no | Marks added | Marks deducted |
5 (revision ordered by the Delhi HC) | +1.25 marks if marked option C | -1.25 marks if marked option D |

116 | +0.25 marks for the wrong answer as per the final answer key published by the consortium | -1 mark for the correct answer as per the final answer key published by the consortium |
