Overview

  • The Supreme Court expressed strong dissatisfaction with the quality of questions in the CLAT UG-2025 exam, calling them error-riddled and casually framed.
  • The court directed specific marking revisions for six flawed questions, including awarding or deleting marks based on the errors identified.
  • Notices were issued to the Union Ministry of Education and the Bar Council of India for failing to implement reforms following a 2018 Supreme Court judgment on CLAT issues.
  • The bench questioned why a permanent, professional mechanism, similar to NEET, has not been established to ensure consistent standards for the law entrance exam.
  • The ongoing legal proceedings have delayed the CLAT 2025 counselling process, with the next Supreme Court hearing scheduled for May 16, 2025.
