CLAT UG 2025: Delhi High Court Orders Revision Of Marksheets, Result Republish
CLAT UG 2025 Result: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday directed the Consortium of National Law Universities to revise the marksheets and republish the final list of selected candidates of CLAT UG-2025 within four weeks.
A bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela accepted certain objections of the candidates while rejecting some of them.
"We direct the respondent/consortium to revise the marksheet and to republish/renotify the final list of selected candidates within four weeks from the date," the bench said.
It clarified that the consortium should apply the evaluation to each appellant and petitioner and the candidates who might have attempted certain questions under the court's consideration.
The consortium, the court said, should also apply the evaluation to all the candidates to whom certain benefits could be granted in view of the analysis.
The bench, as a result, disposed of the petitions and appeals pointing out certain errors in the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) UG-2025 questionnaire. The appeals were filed by the aspirants and the consortium challenging a single judge's order.
The court on April 9 concluded the hearing of the lawyers for the petitioner aspirants, who appeared in the exam in December 2024, and Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLUs) and reserved its order.
The court heard arguments on the questions which were under challenge in the petitions and is yet to hear pleas challenging the questions of CLAT PG-2025.
CLAT determines admissions to undergraduate and postgraduate law courses in national law universities in the country.
Multiple pleas were filed in different high courts alleging that several questions in the exam were wrong.
On February 6, the Supreme Court transferred all the petitions over the issue to the Delhi High Court for a "consistent adjudication".
The top court passed the direction on the transfer petitions of CNLUs.
The CLAT, 2025 for admissions in five-year LLB courses in NLUs was held on December 1, and results were declared on December 7, 2024.
Several students wanted the cases to be transferred to the Delhi High Court, saying it passed a favourable order for some petitioners by identifying errors in two questions of the CLAT-UG 2025 exam and directing the consortium to revise their results.
On December 20, 2024, a Delhi High Court's single judge bench directed the consortium to revise the result of CLAT-2025 over the errors in the answer key.
The single judge's verdict, which came on the plea of a CLAT aspirant, ruled that the answers to two questions in the entrance test were wrong.
The plea challenged the answer key published by the consortium on December 7, 2024, while seeking a direction to declare correct answers to certain questions.
The single judge bench said the errors were "demonstrably clear" and "shutting a blind eye" would amount to injustice.
While the aspirant challenged the single judge's order which refused his prayer over the other two questions, the consortium also moved the division bench of the Delhi High Court against the single judge's decision.
On December 24, 2024, the division bench refused to pass any interim order after prima facie finding no error with the single judge's order over the two questions and said the consortium was free to declare the results in terms of the judge's decision.

Emphasis on education, technology vital for India to become USD 7-8 trillion economy by 2030
New Delhi [India] June 9 (ANI): India's aspiration to become a USD 7-8 trillion economy by 2030 requires emphasis on advancements in education and technology, say experts at the recently concluded Indian Global Innovation Connect (IGIC) 2025 in adoption, especially technologies like GIS (geographic information system), emerged as a pivotal driver, with discussions centred on AI integration, digital transformation, and advanced manufacturing. This technological push, however, is inextricably linked to the quality and relevance of education, the experts said while addressing policymakers, industry leaders and economists.'GIS and AI are coming together in powerful ways to support India's vision of becoming a $7-8 trillion economy. Whether it's bringing rural land into productive use through initiatives like SVAMITVA, enabling smarter infrastructure monitoring, or driving efficiency in agriculture and crop planning, these technologies are already creating real impact,' said Agendra Kumar, Managing Director, Esri GIS landscape in India has been undergoing significant transformation, with new-age technologies opening up tremendous possibilities across various sectors. Globally, the rapidly expanding GIS market is projected to reach a massive USD 24.61 billion by 2034, demonstrating a compounded annual growth rate of 8.71 per cent over the next decade, according to a report by Precedence Research. The speakers at the event underscored the urgent necessity for a strategic overhaul of India's existing economic frameworks and the rural development and industrial expansion was also considered as a vital means to acheive $7-8 trillion economy by 2030. Speaking on India's potential, Claude Smadja, Chairman of Smadja & Smadja Strategic Advisory and former MD of the World Economic Forum, said, 'India has the potential to become a 7-8 trillion-dollar economy, but this will require clear focus and timely execution. No country has achieved sustained growth without a strong industrial base, and India must increase its industry share while also investing more in R&D, particularly from the private sector.' Industrial expansion, particularly in sectors such as clean energy, defence technology, and advanced manufacturing, was also identified as pivotal for fostering economic resilience and scaling job creation. However, the recurring theme was that the skilled workforce required for these sectors will largely emanate from a responsive and forward-looking educational the speakers at the event underscored the urgent need for a strategic overhaul of India's existing economic frameworks, and the rural development and industrial expansion were also considered a vital means to achieve a USD 7-8 trillion economy by 2030. As India strives to become a developed nation by 2047, GIS is expected to play a major role in facilitating the country's ambitious plans for urbanisation and citizen well-being. (ANI)

Survey of SCs to continue at ‘citizen centric services' centres
Bengaluru: A provision has been made to continue the survey for gathering the empirical data, aimed at providing internal reservation among Scheduled Castes (SCs) in Karnataka, at the 9,400 state level 'citizen centric services' centres from June 9 to 22, the commission overseeing the survey said. With about 10 per cent of the survey yet to be completed and amid requests for time extension, the commission headed by retired judge of the Karnataka High Court H N Nagmohan Das, who has been tasked to recommend to the government the internal reservation among SCs, has made this announcement. 'Currently, the 'Comprehensive Survey of the Scheduled Castes-2025', is being carried out across the state of Karnataka from April 5 onwards in 2 modes at special camps and online self-declarations. As of date i.e., June 6, an overall progress of 90 per cent has been achieved in the survey across the state,' an official release dated June 7 that was released to media on Sunday said. It said about 10 per cent of the caste survey is yet to be completed. In addition to this, some Scheduled Caste organisations have once again submitted representations, requesting for time extension to complete the said survey. The commission, however, pointed out that in the wake of the schools reopening in the state, the teachers who were appointed as enumerators for the survey have been relieved from the survey work. 'Thus, in order to facilitate the continuation of the SC castes' survey for those Scheduled Castes' households of Karnataka, who are yet to submit their data in the Scheduled Caste Survey, a provision has been made to carry out the same at the existing 9,400 state level 'citizen centric services' centers, such as , 'Karnataka One', 'Bengaluru One' and 'Grama One' and also at the 198 'BBMP ward offices', from June 9 to June 22,' it said. In order to submit the required information, the Aadhaar card or ration card of the citizen is required, it further said, adding that a separate camp will be set up at each of the 198 Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) ward offices, to carry out this survey. According to officials, the SC population in the state according to the 2011 census was 1.04 crore. In 2025, the projected SC population will be 1.16 crore and out of this 1.05 crore, have been enumerated. Apart from this, the same facility for the survey will also be provided at the Bapuji Seva Kendras, across the state. To enter the said information at the centres, the citizen's Aadhaar card or the ration card number is required. Further, the time limit for Scheduled Caste families for submitting online self declaration has also been extended up to June 22. This can be done through the link: https: As per the government orders earlier and the terms of references, the Commission has to obtain empirical data regarding the representation of the 101 Scheduled Castes' in education and government services in the state of and has to submit a report with suitable recommendations on internal reservation (sub-categorization) of the Scheduled Castes. A section of SCs, like 'SC Left', have been demanding internal reservation, alleging that only a few influential sub-castes were taking away a majority of the benefits, while many communities were still marginalised. The internal reservation is aimed at slicing up the 17 per cent reservation matrix given to 101 Scheduled Castes. The government, in November last year, had appointed Nagmohan Das to head a commission to recommend internal reservation among SCs, after the Supreme Court last year allowed the states to provide internal reservation, and the state cabinet agreed to implement internal reservation. In a landmark verdict delivered by the Supreme Court on August 1 last year, it held that states are constitutionally empowered to make sub-classifications within the SCs, which form a socially heterogeneous class, for granting reservation for the uplift of castes that are socially and educationally more backward.
