The petitioners, who appeared for LLM admissions to National Law Universities, have raised concerns about the CLAT 2025 exam, held by the Consortium of National Law Universities on December 1.
NEW DELHI: A writ petition has been filed in the Supreme Court today (5th Dec) challenging the provisional answer key for the recently conducted Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) for postgraduate (PG) admissions.
The petitioners, who appeared for LLM admissions to National Law Universities, have raised concerns about the CLAT 2025 exam, held by the Consortium of National Law Universities on December 1.
They claim that the provisional answer key, released on December 2, contains multiple errors, specifically alleging inaccuracies in the answers to 12 questions.
Additionally, they highlight the limited window for raising objections, as candidates were given only one day, with the objection portal closing on December 3 at 4 PM.

With the final answer key set for release on December 9 and results expected on December 10, the petitioners are requesting a stay on both the results and the subsequent admission counseling process.
They have also criticized the requirement for candidates to pay a fee of Rs 12,000 to challenge the 12 disputed answers.
“Despite charging an examination fee of Rs 4,000, the Consortium has imposed a fee of Rs 1,000 per objection,” the petition states.
The petition, filed by Anam Khan and Ayush Agarwal, lists Advocates Manasi Bhushan, Shakshi Sharma, Sanjana Patel, Akshit Chaudhary, Chetan, and Ankit Chaturvedi as their legal representatives.
