Candidates can download their official UG CLAT-2025 scorecards by logging into their account on the CLAT 2025 portal through the Consortium's website.

There were petitions before the Delhi High Court, and in December 2024, the court found that two answers of the CLAT-UG 2025 exam were wrong and asked the Consortium to revise the results of the petitioners.
Later, the Consortium appealed before the division bench against the previous Judgment. On April 23, 2025, a division benchheard the Consortium's appeal and ordered certain revisions. On May 7, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and directed certain other changes.
On Friday, the Consortium of NLUs informed the Supreme Court that they were ready to publish the revised results of the CLAT-UG 2025.

How Rajit Gupta Topped JEE Advanced, Scored 100 Percentile Twice In Mains, Check His Strategy
Rajit Gupta from Kota topped JEE Advanced 2025 with AIR 1, after scoring 100 percentile in both January and April sessions of JEE Main. The results of the country's most prestigious engineering entrance exam, JEE Advanced 2025, have been declared. This year, All India Rank (AIR) 1 has been secured by Rajit Gupta, a student from Kota. Rajit had earlier achieved 100 percentile in both the January and April sessions of JEE Main 2025, consistently proving his academic excellence across both national-level exams. Interestingly, Rajit was so confident in his preparation that he didn't even check the answer key after the JEE exams. He attributes his success to conceptual clarity, discipline, and a calm approach — key qualities that helped him excel in both JEE Main and JEE Advanced. Rajit hails from Mahaveer Nagar in Kota. His father, Deepak Gupta, is an engineer with BSNL, and his mother, Dr. Shruti Agrawal, is a professor at JDB College. The family resides in Mahaveer Nagar. In his own words, Rajit shares his secret to success: 'Happiness is my key to success. I try to stay happy in all situations. I never followed a strict study schedule because that only creates unnecessary pressure. I studied when I felt like it, but whenever I did study, I studied with full focus. I made sure to clear my doubts before moving on to the next topic. My main focus was on not repeating mistakes, because correcting mistakes strengthens your foundation in any subject." Despite being the top ranker, Rajit remains grounded and cheerful. He still finds time to play with kids in his colony and enjoys his journey without burdening himself with excessive pressure. Once again, the city of Kota, Rajasthan, known as India's coaching capital, has proven its dominance in the JEE Advanced 2025 results. Students who were prepared in Kota have secured top ranks, with Rajit Gupta achieving All India Rank (AIR) 1. Following him, another Kota-based student, Saksham Jindal, secured AIR 2. Additionally, Akshat (AIR 6) and Devesh (AIR 8) also made it to the coveted top 10 list. With 4 out of the top 10 ranks going to Kota students, the city has once again established its leadership in engineering exam preparation. The dominance didn't stop there — Kota students also made a strong showing in the top 50 and top 100 ranks. Following the result declaration, the city erupted in celebration, with students and coaching institutes proudly marking the success.

In a spiritual shift, Nashik Simhastha Kumbh Mela 2027 to replace 'Shahi Snan' with 'Amrit Snan'
Nashik (Maharashtra) [India], June 1 (ANI): The upcoming Nashik Simhastha Kumbh Mela 2027 will witness a significant traditional change, as the age-old practice of 'Shahi Snan' or royal bath will be replaced with 'Amrit Snan' for the first time. This decision was taken during a meeting of the Akhara Parishad and the Kumbh Mela organisers with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in Nashik on Sunday. 'The Kumbh Mela is held at four locations across the country Prayagraj, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik and it takes place based on where the drops of Amrit fell. The term Shahi Snan was introduced during the Mughal era. Therefore, this tradition is now being changed, and the Shahi Snan will henceforth be referred to as Amrit Snan. This decision was taken after discussions during a meeting between all 13 Akharas and the Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in Nashik,' Mahant Bhakti Charan Das, spokesperson of All India Vaishnav Akhara told ANI. The move aims to infuse the event with a deeper spiritual and religious essence, steering it away from the display of grandiosity and power. Saints from various Akharas have stressed that the bathing ritual should symbolize spiritual discipline rather than royal pageantry. 'Referring to the sacred bath as 'Amrit Snan' aligns more closely with the true purpose of the event,' said Mahant Bhakti Charan Das. According to Hindu beliefs, bathing during the Kumbh Mela cleanses one of all sins. The name 'Amrit Snan' draws from the mythological tale of the Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean), where drops of divine nectar--Amrit--were believed to have fallen at the Kumbh sites, including Nashik. The Akharas view 'Amrit Snan' as a return to the festival's spiritual roots, ensuring the focus remains on devotion, penance, and salvation rather than spectacle. Earlier today, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis said preparations have been underway following discussions with chiefs of various Akharas ahead of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela 2027 in Nashik. 'A meeting was organised in relation to the Kumbh Mela of Nashik and Trimbakeshwar, in which the 13 major Akharas were also present. We discussed the event in the presence of all the Mahants, saints, priests... This time the fair is going to be long, so people will get to see many important 'Amrit Snan' dates and holy festivals...,' CM Fadnavis told reporters here. He also said that the government has come up with a plan to ensure the cleanliness of the Godavari River.'A plan has also been prepared to ensure that our Godavari Maa flows clean and uninterrupted... Works worth Rs 2,000 crores are in the pipeline. Overall, preparations have been made here so that a divine and grand fair is held,' CM Fadnavis said. The Nashik Kumbh, one of the largest religious gatherings in India, is held once every 12 years, where devotees come to take a holy bath on the banks of the Godavari River. The Maharashtra government is focused on ensuring smooth arrangements, including sanitation, security, and infrastructure development. Key decisions are expected to be finalized in the coming months.
