The Allahabad High Court has mandated a revision of the CLAT-UG 2026 merit list following a dispute over the exam's answer key. The court partially granted a petition filed by Avneesh Gupta, challenging the oversight committee's arbitrary decision that contradicted subject matter experts.
Justice Vivek Saran ruled that options 'B' and 'D' should both be considered correct for a logical reasoning question in the exam. The judgment requires the National Law Universities consortium to amend the merit list within a month, treating both options as correct.
While the court's decision affects future counselling rounds, it ensures that students already admitted during the initial round will remain undisturbed. The high-stakes legal entrance exam originally took place on December 7, 2025, prompting significant legal action.
