🗞️ CLAT PG 2025: Delhi High Court Reserves Verdict on Challenge Fee & Question Errors

The Delhi High Court is set to deliver its verdict today in a batch of petitions challenging the CLAT PG 2025 exam’s answer-key errors and the ₹1,000-per-question objection fee imposed by the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs).
⚖️ What the Case Covers
Three petitions were filed by aspirants including Anam Khan, Nitika, and Ayush Agrawal, contesting alleged errors in three questions (Nos. 21, 57, and 98) from the provisional answer key
The petitions also challenged the ₹1,000 fee per objection, describing it as a prohibitive cost—equivalent to a month’s income for some candidates
🔥 Bench’s Observations
A bench comprising Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela strongly criticized the fee, noting it could be “monthly income for someone” and deter disadvantaged candidates from raising valid objections
The Consortium defended the fee as a measure to deter frivolous objections and mentioned that fees are refunded if a challenge is upheld
⏳ What Happens Next
The court had reserved its decision after hearings concluded on May 27. Today’s judgement could impact question validity, objection fee levels, and eligibility for LLM admissions 2025–26 across the 24 NLUs
The Consortium has already withdrawn four questions including number 52, pending final determination
A favourable ruling could compel them to revise answer keys, adjust results, and potentially refund objection fees to candidates.
📌 Why This Matters
More than 10,000 candidates appeared for CLAT PG 2025, with 96% attendance; hence any verdict will have wide ramifications
The decision could lead to changes in final rankings, affecting seat allotment and counselling schedules.
It may also set a broader legal precedent on how much NLUs can charge students for challenging exam content.
✅ Key Takeaways for Aspirants
Keep an eye on the court’s decision—expect possible announcement of revised results and refund guidelines.
Be prepared for re-opened counselling or admission procedures if significant changes are ordered.
Regardless of the verdict, this case underscores the importance of exam transparency and affordable challenge processes.
