⚖️ Past Year Highlights & Controversy
The CLAT 2025 exam was marred by legal
battles and confusion. Several questions were challenged in court, resulting in
revised UG results released five months later on May 17, 2025. The
Supreme Court recently criticized the “casual” approach taken by the
Consortium regarding the accuracy and clarity of questions.
This year, all eyes are on the CLAT 2026 exam and
whether the Consortium will take stricter quality control measures.
