CLAT UG-2025: SC agrees to hear plea challenging Delhi HC verdict

The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT), 2025, for admissions to five-year LLB courses in national law universities, was held on December 1 last year and the results were declared on December 7. Multiple pleas were filed in different high courts, alleging that several questions in the exam were wrong.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday stayed the Delhi High Court's order directing the Consortium of National Law Universities to revise the mark sheets and republish the final list of selected candidates of CLAT UG-2025 within four weeks.

A bench of Justices B R Gavai and Augustine George Masih issued notices to the consortium and others on the plea, seeking their replies within a week.

The bench posted the matter for consideration on Monday.

The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT), 2025, for admissions to five-year LLB courses in national law universities, was held on December 1, 2024, and results were declared on December 7. The CLAT allows admissions to undergraduate and postgraduate law courses in national law universities in the country.

Several candidates who had appeared in the exam, had raised concerns over alleged incorrect questions and answers.

On February 6, the Supreme Court transferred all petitions to the Delhi High Court for a "consistent adjudication". The top court passed the direction on the transfer petitions of the Consortium of National Law Universities.

The Delhi HC on April 23 accepted certain objections of the candidates while rejecting some of them.

It directed the consortium to revise the mark sheet and to republish and renotify the final list of selected candidates within four weeks.
