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.

Anushka also wants to get into NLSIU, Bengaluru. Her father is a software professional and mother a home maker. 'I am not a person who studies 24/7, but even if I study for 3 to 4 hours, I put in all my concentration and study consistently,' she shared.
Aniketan Y.S., a professional cricketer who represented the Under-16 Shivamogga zone, secured seventh rank in State and All India Rank 65. He scored 93% in the Commerce stream in II PUC.
'After I started playing cricket, I decided not to pursue Science and joined the Commerce stream. I decided to take up law as I want to be with society instead of working in the corporate world,' he said. He also wants to join NLSIU Bengaluru.
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.

New academic session at DU classes to begin on August 1
Classes for the new academic session at Delhi University (DU) are set to begin on August 1, the university said in a notification issued on Thursday. With that date in mind, the second phase of undergraduate admissions is expected to commence early next week, officials said on Friday, following the release of the Common University Entrance Test Undergraduate (CUET-UG) results. The first phase of admissions began on June 17 with the launch of the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal. (Archives) 'The schedule for the second phase will be released very soon. It will tentatively begin in the first half of next week, starting with a correction window for those who have already registered,' said DU's dean of admission, Haneet Gandhi. The first phase of admissions began on June 17 with the launch of the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal. This year, DU is offering 71,624 seats across 79 undergraduate programmes and 186 BA programme combinations in 69 colleges and departments. In the second phase, candidates will need to map the subjects they studied in Class 12 to the CUET domain subjects, as the university will only consider domain papers that match or closely resemble subjects studied at the school level. During the allocation-cum-admission round, candidates must 'accept' the seat offered to them. The respective college will then verify eligibility and documents submitted online. Once approved, candidates can pay the fee to confirm admission. Any inaction will be treated as non-acceptance of the allocated seat. For the first time, DU will also ask for Class 10 marks, which will be used for tie-breaking if required. An advisory issued by the university on Thursday said: 'The University of Delhi will open Phase 2 of the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS UG) in the coming week. All prospective applicants are advised to start applying for CSAS Phase I, if not done so far.' While students are encouraged to complete Phase 1 before Phase 2 begins, the university clarified that registrations on the CSAS portal will remain open even after the second phase is launched. Students have also been advised to start preparing a list of preferred programmes and colleges. The move is part of DU's attempt to avoid the kind of delays that have plagued the academic calendar in recent years. Last year, the academic session began on August 29, and mop-up rounds continued into early October. The delay was attributed to the late release of CUET-UG results. Since DU adopted CUET in 2022, the admission timeline has been tied closely to the result declaration. Subject mapping and seat allocation — critical steps in the process — can only begin after CUET results are out. These delays have led to complications for both students and faculty. First-year students have had to sit exams during extreme weather conditions, while teachers' summer breaks have been cut short due to extended invigilation duties. Several faculty members have also raised concerns over inadequate teaching time in the first semester as classes often begin late. 'We want to correct the academic calendar and start all semesters together,' Gandhi said. 'That's why the second phase of the admission process will be somewhat compressed this time.' The university advisory also noted: 'The University is likely to start its academic session from August 1, 2025. Hence, the duration of CSAS Phase 2 could be limited to a week.'

Result Day: Glitches Log Out Scores
New Delhi: After a long-awaited CUET exam, thousands of students logged in to check their results on Saturday, only to be met with frozen screens, error messages and endless buffering. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now What was meant to be a gateway to India's top universities quickly spiralled into a digital nightmare. "I kept refreshing all afternoon, but the screen just wouldn't load," said an aspirant from east Delhi. Like her, countless others were locked out of the system due to server glitches that marred the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) results this year. According to one parent, the official CUET website crashed shortly after the results were announced and remained inaccessible for nearly four to five hours. Many users encountered repeated errors such as "invalid authentication" or "invalid admission number" and were even unable to reset their passwords due to the system's failure. "The login troubles persisted for most of the afternoon, despite NTA's tweet announcing the results around 2.30pm. Students began accessing their scores only by 5 or 5.30pm," said a parent. Uvika, an aspirant, attempted to check her score in the afternoon. She claimed that till 4 pm, "it wasn't out." Another student, Chetna Sharma from Gurgaon, managed to access her results late, but not without considerable struggle. She confirmed that her result "came late." She described encountering various errors while trying to log in: "Like, it was showing invalid earlier. Sometimes the application number, sometimes the password, both were invalid. Sometimes the captcha code was invalid. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Then it just came suddenly. " Chetna started trying to check her result in the afternoon and made three or four attempts before she could access her result at 6 pm. Another student, Pratishtha, who also tried to log in as soon as the notification for the results came, said, "I tried and tried. First, the website did not load, and then, it did not take my credentials. It was only after at least two hours that I could access my result." The frustration was compounded by repeated delays in the announcement of the result itself, as students were initially told to expect results by the end of June. Parents noted that other national exams like NEET released both the final answer key and results on the same day. One parent remarked, "It's amazing that they still can't get their website in order." These delays have real consequences for families, many of whom are forced to hedge their bets with private university admissions. Several parents reported paying fees at private universities just to ensure their children have a backup option. While UGC rules mandate substantial fee refunds if classes haven't begun, the uncertainty still leads to financial strain—especially for families for whom even a 10% deduction matters. "We've paid fees at two, three places, but now DU is so delayed we barely have time to plan — how do we shift a child to another city like Bengaluru or Chennai without time to prepare?" said one parent.
