CLAT 2025 Counselling: The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2025 counselling process has encountered significant delays, creating uncertainty for aspiring law students. The Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLU) has been unable to commence the counselling process for both LLB and LLM admissions due to ongoing legal disputes over alleged errors in the answer key for result preparation. According to the recent updates, the CLAT 2025 Counselling is Expected to Begin After March 3, 2025. Candidates can check more details below.
CLAT 2025 Counselling Expected to Begin After March 3
The CLAT 2025 results have faced legal challenges, with petitions raising concerns about alleged errors in the answer key. To ensure consistency and avoid potentially contradictory judgments, the Supreme Court has directed the transfer of all related petitions to the Delhi High Court.
A crucial hearing is scheduled to take place at the Delhi High Court on March 3, 2025. This hearing is expected to play a decisive role in determining the future course of the counselling process. As a direct consequence of the ongoing legal proceedings, the CNLU has postponed the commencement of the CLAT 2025 counselling process.
Therefore, it is now anticipated that the counselling process will likely begin after the Delhi High Court hearing on March 3, 2025.
The CLAT 2025 results, released after the December 1st exam for 24 NLUs, sparked controversy due to candidate claims of answer key errors and high objection fees. A Delhi High Court order mandated result revisions, prompting the CNLU to appeal to the Supreme Court, thus extending the admissions process's uncertainty.
CLAT 2025 Counselling Details
The CLAT 2025 counselling process is anticipated to begin following the Delhi High Court hearing and will likely consist of multiple rounds.
- Prospective candidates should be prepared to pay a counselling fee of Rs. 30,000 if they belong to the General category and Rs. 20,000 if they fall under the SC, ST, PWD, or OBC categories.
- The CLAT Counselling will be conducted in an online mode by the Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLU) at a later date.
