The Delhi High Court emphasized that the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) should accommodate students from non-English medium backgrounds by considering conducting the exam in regional languages. The Court instructed the National Law Universities Consortium to make a concrete decision within eight weeks to ensure no student is excluded due to language barriers.
NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Monday, 3rd March, gave two weeks’ time to the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) to file its reply to a group of petitions challenging the CLAT 2025 exam results. The CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) is conducted for admissions to NLUs across the country.
CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) is India’s most popular law entrance exam, with over 60,000 students appearing every year. Although there are more than 1,800 law colleges in the country, most aspirants dream of securing a seat in the top 26 National Law Universities (NLUs). These NLUs are regarded as the best institutes for legal education in India.
Today, On 24th December, After Madhya Pradesh, the Bombay High Court asked the NLU consortium to respond to a plea against the CLAT PG 2025 exam. The CLAT 2025 exam has faced criticism due to claims of incorrect answer keys for both UG and PG exams. Many candidates questioned the fairness of the evaluation process, leading to legal cases in different courts. The NLU consortium’s reply is expected to explain its position and address these concerns.
The NLU Consortium has appealed to the Delhi High Court against a ruling that required revising CLAT 2025 results due to errors identified in the exam questions. The court acknowledged mistakes in two questions and mandated corrections, while the Consortium argues this judicial intervention oversteps boundaries on academic matters. Both sides await further hearings.
