Key Dates and Revisions
The CLAT 2025 examination was held on December 1, 2024. Initially, the provisional answer key was released on December 2, 2024, followed by the original result on December 7, 2024. However, due to challenges and directives from the Delhi High Court and subsequently the Supreme Court regarding discrepancies in certain questions, the results underwent revisions.

- Revised CLAT UG 2025 Result Date: May 17, 2025
- Revised CLAT PG 2025 Result Date: June 10, 2025
The revisions in the answer key for CLAT UG 2025 involved the withdrawal of one question from Logical Reasoning and two from Quantitative Techniques, and revision of answer keys for one question each in English and Legal Reasoning. This led to the evaluation of candidates being out of 113 marks instead of the original 120 marks.
