I want to become a legal professional and I would like to join NLSIU, Bengaluru. Along with my interest, I have been passionate about politics and equality since my childhood. Despite being the daughter of doctor parents, I decided to pursue law instead of following in their foot steps.” Kushal Kabra, a student of Sri Kumarans Children’s Home, Mallasandra campus in Bengaluru, bagged the second rank in the State with All India Rank of 29 in CLAT.

Regarding CLAT (Postgraduate) results, the Consortium has said that the candidates will have to wait till the resolution of matters currently pending before the Delhi High Court. Candidates can download their official UG CLAT-2025 scorecards by logging into their account on the CLAT 2025 portal through the Consortium’s website. The exam held on December 1, 2024, turned controversial due to complaints regarding questions. There were petitions before the Delhi High Court, and in December 2024, the court found that two answers of the CLAT-UG 2025 exam were wrong and asked the Consortium to revise the results of the petitioners. Later, the Consortium appealed before the division bench against the previous Judgment. On April 23, 2025, a division benchheard the Consortium’s appeal and ordered certain revisions. On May 7, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court’s order and directed certain other changes. On Friday, the Consortium of NLUs informed the Supreme Court that they were ready to publish the revised results of the CLAT-UG 2025.
