CLAT 2025 Result Hearing Live Updates: Delhi HC to Hear Pleas Challenging CLAT Result on April 7
The Delhi High Court has deferred the hearing on petitions challenging the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2025 results to April 7, 2025, prolonging the uncertainty for thousands of law aspirants. Earlier, the Supreme Court had transferred all cases concerning the CLAT 2025 undergraduate results pending before various High Courts to the Delhi High Court.
CLAT 2025 Counselling: What’s Next?
The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) is preparing to start the CLAT 2025 counselling process, where candidates will be allotted seats in various NLUs and participating law colleges based on their rank. However, the Delhi HC’s hearing outcome could influence the counselling schedule, especially if the court orders a revision of the results.
Why is the CLAT 2025 Result Under Scrutiny?
A group of CLAT 2025 aspirants has petitioned the Delhi High Court, citing concerns over:
- Errors in the final answer key
- Discrepancies in the normalization process
- Incorrect question evaluation affecting overall scores
The petitioners demand either a revision of results or a re-evaluation of specific answers, arguing that the discrepancies have affected merit rankings and could impact admissions.
CLAT 2025 Merit List and Seat Allotment
The CLAT Merit List 2025 will be released by the Consortium of NLUs, mentioning the names and ranks of candidates shortlisted for seat allotment. The invite list will be published once the CLAT Result 2025 is officially announced.
Difference Between CLAT Cutoff & CLAT Merit List
1. CLAT Cutoff
- The minimum score or rank required for admission to a particular NLU.
- Varies based on seat availability, exam difficulty, and number of applicants.
- Different for categories like General, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS.
Example: If NALSAR Hyderabad has a cutoff rank of 120, only candidates within that rank are eligible.
2. CLAT Merit List
- A rank-wise list of all candidates based on exam performance.
- Includes all candidates who appeared, regardless of admission eligibility.
- Used for counselling and seat allotment.
Example: If a candidate scores 100 out of 120, they may have an All India Rank (AIR) of 85, which will be mentioned in the merit list.
Factors Affecting CLAT Cutoff 2025
Several factors influence the CLAT 2025 cut-off marks, including:
- Exam difficulty level: If the exam is easy, cutoffs may increase.
- Total applications received: Higher applications can lead to higher cutoffs.
- Number of qualified candidates: Fewer qualifying candidates may result in lower cutoffs.
- Total available seats: If seats are increased, cutoffs may decrease.
- Previous year cutoffs: Top NLUs historically have higher cutoffs, while others may have relatively lower ones.
The outcome of the Delhi HC hearing on April 7 will determine whether the CLAT 2025 results need modifications, which may impact the admission process and counselling schedules for law aspirants.
