CLAT First Seat Allotment 2025 Likely DelayedCLAT First Seat Allotment 2025 Likely Delayed: The Delhi High Court has recently issued directives to the Consortium of National Law Universities regarding the re-evaluation of the CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) merit list. This intervention arises from concerns raised by the Court about the accuracy of certain responses included in the final answer key for CLAT 2025. In light of this situation, the Court has mandated a comprehensive review and revision of the merit list to ensure fairness in the evaluation process. Consequently, it is anticipated that the announcement of the CLAT 2025 Round 1 allotment may be postponed as the authorities work to implement the revised marking scheme.

Justice Singh has expressed that several answers deemed correct in the final answer key may be incorrect and has stressed that overlooking these discrepancies could result in unjust outcomes for candidates. This new scheme is expected to apply to all candidates, ensuring that any errors in the previous answer key are duly corrected and that every student's results accurately reflect their performance on the exam. This review is necessary because several errors were found in Set A of the undergraduate (UG) question paper, raising doubts about the accuracy of the exam results.
As a result of this court decision, the release of the CLAT 2025 final answer key was speeded up and made public on December 7, 2024. The first allotment list of candidates, which is important for the admissions process, was originally meant to be published on December 26. However, the ongoing review may lead to changes in the dates for the CLAT 2025 Counselling and could affect the announcement of results.
The Consortium understands that this situation may create uncertainty for candidates preparing for the next steps in the admissions process. In a public statement, they reassured all applicants of their commitment to transparency and integrity. They also emphasized that any significant updates or changes will be shared directly through their official channels to keep everyone informed about the CLAT 2025 admissions.
