They claim that the CLAT 2025 provisional answer key has various errors and as many as 12 questions have been given wrong answers. The Consortium of National Law Universities conducted the exam on December 1, 2024, for postgraduate admissions and issued the CLAT 2025 answer key on December 2, 2024.
The petitioners object to the short timeframe given to raise objections to the provisional answer key, with the online portal closing on December 3 at 4 pm. The CLAT 2025 final answer key is scheduled to be published on December 9 and the results are to be announced on December 10, 2024.
Petitioners seek CLAT 2025 result delay
The petitioners have requested a delay in the publication of the CLAT 2025 results and the counselling process. They also object to the requirement that candidates must pay Rs 12,000 to raise objections to the 12 answers.
"It is submitted that even after charging an exorbitant fee of Rs 4,000/- (Rupees Four Thousand Only) towards the examination fees, the Consortium accepted objections only upon payment of Rs 1,000/- (Rupees One Thousand Only) per objection," the petition stated.
Alleged CLAT 2025 discrimination
The petitioners further allege that they were not given equal treatment, as they received the sealed envelope containing the question paper and Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) response sheet only after 2 pm, despite being scheduled for 1.50 pm.
The petition contends that the improper conduct of the CLAT exam violated the petitioners' fundamental rights under Articles 14 and 21A. The petitioners are represented by Advocates Manasi Bhushan, Shakshi Sharma, Sanjana Patel, Akshit Chaudhary, Chetan and Ankit Chaturvedi (AOR).
