The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) informed the Supreme Court on Friday afternoon that it will publish the revised results of this year's Common Law Admission Test (CLAT 2025 UG) within the next two hours..The Consortium informed the Court that it was awaiting the upload of the Court’s final order dated May 7, which directed the correction of certain errors in the answer key.To this, a Bench of Chief Justice of India BR Gavai and Justice AG Masih responded, "I have signed it yesterday evening. It will be published right now.".The top court was hearing an appeal filed by one Hardik Garg challenging the Delhi High Court’s order that dismissed his three objections regarding questions 81, 93 and 97..The Delhi High Court had ruled on April 23 that there were errors in four questions and answers in this year's CLAT for UG courses. Therefore, it ordered the Consortium to revise the marksheets of the candidates and publish/renotify the final list of selected candidates within four weeks.The following were the erroneous questions/ answers identified by the High Court:- Question no. 5 of master booklet: Incorrect option given in answer key; option (c) is the correct answer; all candidates who marked option (c) to get the benefit.- Question no 77 of master booklet: Out of syllabus to be excluded and treated as withdrawn. Students who marked the correct answer will lose their mark, and the students who marked the wrong answer would gain 0.25 marks that they lost by negative marking.- Question 115 of master booklet: The answer in option (a), “Rs.204 approx” as provided in the provisional answer key has been found to be incorrect and the answer in option (d), “None of these” is the correct answer. All candidates who attempted this question will get full marks.- Question 116 of master booklet: All the candidates who participated in CLAT UG 2025 with respect to the Sets B, C & D of question papers shall be granted the marks indicated against the said question. Since Set A did not have this error, the Court deemed it fit not to interfere with the marks obtained by all those candidates who answered correctly..However, the Supreme Court on May 7 overturned the High Court's order and issued directions for additional modifications. It noted that despite a 2018 judgment of the Court on the issue, no further steps have been taken by the Central government or the Bar Council of India (BCI) to redress the issues plaguing the law entrance test."We must express our anguish at the casual manner in which the Consortium has been framing questions for CLAT exams which involves career aspirations of lakhs of students. In academic matters court is always slow to intervene since they are not an expert. But when academicians themselves err in such manner which impacts lakhs of students, court is left with no opportunity but to intervene," the Court said.Therefore, it proceeded to issue notice to the Union Ministry of Education and sought its response to streamline the exam and address the issues surrounding the same.Pertinently, it made wholesale changes to the Delhi High Court directions on the four erroneous questions..[Read Live Coverage]
