The Delhi HC pronounced the CLAT PG judgment on June 6, 2025, and directed the consortium of NLUs to revise answers to two of the three questions under review. Additionally, the Consortium of NLUs has withdrawn 5 questions on its own volition. These changes in the CLAT PG revised final answer key will cause a significant change in the candidates’ scores in the CLAT PG revised result. The extent of impact is such that a candidate’s rank can increase or decline by up to 2000 ranks in the revised CLAT PG merit list. In this article, let’s find out how.
The Consortium of NLUs will notify the revised result and restart the CLAT PG counselling soon for admission into LLM programmes of participating NLUs.
In its CLAT PG judgement, the Delhi HC has ordered revisions in the answer key to two of the questions while rejecting one of the objections. The three questions in CLAT PG considered by the Delhi HC were Q. no. 21, 57, and 58 from the master booklet. The details are given below.
