These 2 graphs of our survey won’t explain the torrent of abuse, fear & loathing CLAT takers left in the comments

Approximately 80% of applicants surveyed saw increases in CLAT scores, while only around 5% saw decreases in their scores, with 40% getting 2.5 points or more from 2 cancelled questions.

An informal survey conducted by Legally India late last night, has yielded 196 usable responses about how applicants’ marks have changed after the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2015 convenors RMLNLU Lucknow’s expert committee decided to cancel only two questions in the controversial undergraduate paper. 

Approximately 80% of applicants surveyed saw increases in CLAT scores, while only around 5% saw decreases in their scores. i cried second time this year

Around 10% of applicant’s scores remained the same.

Out of the 196 responses with data about by how much their marks increased or decreased, around 75 got an additional 2.5 points.

The next highest group received 1.25 additional points.

Four applicants claimed to have received as many as 3 additional points, two said they had received 2.75 additional points.

Thank You RML for ruining everything.

Only two questions in the undergraduate paper were cancelled as incorrect by the expert committee, which could have resulted in two additional points, and possibly annulling 0.5 total points of negative marking for those questions, though how the system works could not be confirmed by Legally India.

Applicants and experts still complained that a large number of questions had more than one correct answer or none at all.

Torrent of abuse

In the survey, applicants could also leave a comment about the CLAT alongside their increase or decrease. If the Clat committee is accepting the errors, it shouldn't do so selectively. There are more than two or three errors in the paper. And that needs to be accepted.

Here is the full list of comments, a few of which were positive while the majority despaired (a huge number of obscene responses redacted or not included, depending on severity). The list is roughly sorted, starting with those who lost points to those who gained extra points.

Rank increased by 132
But my rank went down from 221 to 239.
but my rank went from 155 to 166
my rank saw an increase of 262
I do not trust CLAT anymore, it should be banned.
the response sheet sent by them shows my old mark though. F*** RML and the organizers. I wont be doing law now because I don't trust this field and the people in it anymore. Bcom here I come.
several other questions also need to be looked into.
please do something...itz a request
my score is still the same but rank has gone down miserably
Clat is being very unfair. Gross injustice.
same rank
rmnlu is worst
marks increase but rank decreases
r they just playing with us , is all this fun or a game for them ... no reasons nothing for the same why they hve increased the marks , where r the individual response and a lot more ques. like this r arising now ... we r facing injustice in law paper only ...
rank improved by 91...shud there be re-adjustmnt in preference list..??
Whats the point of correction in just 2 questions when there are 30+ wrong ques./answers in CLAT 2015.RMLNLU is covering up their 39 mistakes by correcting just 2 of them.help us ,Legallyindia !
my score is still not what i expected....I was sure about my GK section and after matching with the answer key provided by RMLNLU the marks donot match with section summary they have provided.
there are about 30 errors and considering time lost in those 30 confusing/wrong questios,time lost in computer hanging and also PG level (CAT) questions there should be a retest .Also not to forget that students of 2 coaching centres of […] already knew clat questions and thus all of them cracked CLAT 2015
The Rank decreased by 69...Even though the questions for PG arent clear
two weeks down! marks down! results down! allindiarank down! this is ridiculous management!
my score is increased by 1 mark by rank decreased by 300
rank decreased by 40
RML is incompetent.
rml ppl are frauds
i can't locate question numbers as mentioned in notice.. response sheet mentions questions in 3 slots, each containing numbers 1 to 50, which question shall i locate to be qn no.11, 59,64 then..response sheet has not been revised, lotsof chaos happening...they have removed the qn paper..
My mark has been increased but my rank has gone below.
i still doubt there's a huge discrepancy in the results cz m sure that some questions which i have attempted correctly have been shown as wrongly attempted questions I feel cheated..my rank has slipped down by 150 marks. the questions were faulty..we should gave a retest!
[...] AIR [below 30 that increased by 2 ranks after re-grade]
Why was the total attempts showing 182 against the actual 176, in the answer sheet?? still ambiguity on that!
This is nt fair at all. Please take the retest
Please Look Into This Matter Seriously.Our Career Is At Stake.
I think there are more questions that ought to-be rectified
This exam is a mess. It has made a mockery of the efforts of the students. it is a shame that there is no transparency in this exam. Very very upset by the state of affairs of the exams. didn't give the exam for this. Last year I got a better rank after studying for a month and this year, I got nothing despite slogging for a year. shame. Independent expert committee should be established
Should have increased more.
Many other doubts remain unanswered
My rank went down from 214 to 231. I also want to mention that I had got 114 minutes for the completion of the CLAT exam, as the computer system assigned to me was faulty. After repeated complaints the clat committee replied to my complaint saying that there was no error with respect to the examination.
rank decreases.horrible
Confused
my score should increase even more Tired.
what is happening?
earlier rank was [around 1500] and now it is [around 1400]
only 1 question they have changed, so how come students got an increase of 2.5 marks
all bull shit
My score went up and so did my Rank by 16 points.
Clat committee is fully corrupted. no more words 2 describe them
sir along with increase in marks i found my ranks steping down i dont know what is happening as there were reports of over 28 questions which is said to be wrong but now i feel they are not considering the fact.I would personally suggest for a re exam or re evaluation after prepration of a new answer key.
rank went down than before.how is that possible?
Rank went down though
More sincere efforts should be made to check the credibility of the answers.
Extremely disheartened......expected more from the CLAT conducting authority
I dont find it okk.. clat is going down
Clat expert committee has not taken up or clarified all other dubious questions as anlysed by experts
my rank has increased to 118 from 63.
they need to improve.. someone has to look into these matter like hrd ministry or law ministry
they have not corrected a hell lot of questions....we need to do something!!! It is my kind request and i plead clat to provide the students with their individual QUESTION SET to which they answered .There are many confusions after the response sheet has been given. I am unable to identify and tally my answers with the question due to unavailability of MY QUESTION SET which i had answered on the day of exam. With just the response sheet how is it possible that one could tally or clarify his or her answers, what he/she marked!.It is just very very confusing.!.What is the whole point in giving the individual response sheets if we cannot clarify our doubts as to the questions and sweres. The question booklet and answer key provided by clat is the master list.What about what set we answered?. And if i go by the question paper and booklet provided by clat and my individual response sheet, i am shocked by the results!the answers marked by me doesnt tally with the marked answes on the response sheet.
We should at least have got 5 marks seeing all the wrong questions
I wonder how can 1 mark increase. if its fr wrng ans then it would have been 1.25 . Also which qstns were awarded marks that too aint disclosed.
they have not rectified any answers from the legal reasoning section.....many answers are still wrong!!!!
Every thing seems fishy. Reputed Clat mentors have proved about 35 questions to be wrong. 20 of them even a kid can see. We want justice.
This need to be done with more seriousness and vigour. It's about the future of students.
score increased by 1.25 rank decreased by 90, When any laymen can understand mistakes committed by convener of CLAT exam why can't experts could understand the blunder committed by them.Very shameful , Is this is the standard of NLU's?
not getting it at alll.. marks incrased but rank has become worse than before ...
I am down by 80 ranks now. Isn't my rank supposed to increase with an increase in score? Unfair.
The logic puzzle (q166 and 168) which i had gotten correct still stand as my score has not improved and it was improperly marked by CLAT
I feel cheated..my rank has slipped down by 150 marks. the questions were faulty..we should gave a retest!
Independent expert committee should be established
what is happening?
In some answers the option I marked is either shown otherwise or not answered
still hoping for better
Happy wid that
rank [around 3000]-------->[around 3150] and i cried second time this year >_< next year plz give the ques from JEE-ADVANCE and change the results as many times as you can :( #RMLNLU _/\_ thanks for ruining
I'm really very disappointed. RML ruined everything, screwed my life totally. Thank You RML for ruining everything. PLEASE DIE! :)
Score of no use
i had attemptd 185...without any question markd fr review bt my response key shows 190....who will rectify this mistake....when will they provide me with my question paper......it was my second attempt....last year i also saw this...when will they assure us peaceful conduct of exam...??? madar**** khi ke...
If the Clat committee is accepting the errors, it shouldn't do so selectively. There are more than two or three errors in the paper. And that needs to be accepted.
Rank up by 5000
I wish they were more sincere towards this whole process!
Rank Increase-7
rank decreases.horrible
None. I am neither very happy nor am i grieving with the new results. Have a little bit of disappointment for sure more dubious questions could be taken care of. But still the matter got solved so that we wont have sleepless nights again.
Tired.
rank increased from 97 to 115
while it has been contended that there were at least 15 incorrect answers, only 2 have been arbitrarily handpicked, which is grossly unfair.
first the university clearify about no than the result may publish .
my score has increased nd my rank too .I m very much dissapointed wit clat 2015 which prooved to be such a havoc. Most of the deserving participants are now in utter dismay .Clat did not put up to the minimum expectations this year leaving most in utter confusion
Rank has been decreased
My rank decreased by 95
F*** RML and the organizers. I wont be doing law now because I don't trust this field and the people in it anymore. Bcom here I come.
This need to be done with more seriousness and vigour. It's about the future of students.
Actually clat has given marks for 3 questions. But my score has increased only 1.25 marks which means I have been givn marks for only 1 question while I deserve for the remaining two viz 108
it is the same answersheet which was posted earlier .The question which were marked despite being correct are still marked wrong
There are way too many errors to be rectified and drastic changes in results to be made. The VC is turning a blind eye on all of this just to protect his honour and that of his 'college'. But the thing that he doesn't realize that this black business that he's doing, it's lowering him even more. Gosh, just please grow up already!!
mockery of Indian education system.....
Online Technical fault not considered,Just follow Day before yesterday debated by Rajdeep Sardesai
The problem is that they have changed the order of questions so that we can not compare our old response sheets!
There should be retest.
I'am confused and sad that my marks increased but rank worsened too!!!!!!!!
Many more questions are wrong.
still there some correction is required score is doubtful because increasing score rank has gone down
It is my kind request and i plead clat to provide the students with their individual QUESTION SET to which they answered .There are many confusions after the response sheet has been given.

Expected more increase in points
There are more errors which hv not been addressed
as you knoe there a lot more questions in clat 2015 exam were wrong but rmnlu committe accept that there were only 2 questions wrong.. why r they reacting like this man seriously!! they should get a look on those questions also.. but they are not!! now they are relasing first allotment list on mon...?? seriously they are dumbshits..!!
There is a FAULT in my revised rank list. In question ID 1907, both options C and D were identical and hence marks are awarded for BOTH answers according to the notice published in the CLAT website. I, however, did not get any marks for attempting this question right. I got 1.25 marks which everyone was getting anyway.
score increased by 1.25 rank decreased by 90, When any laymen can understand mistakes committed by convener of CLAT exam why can't experts could understand the blunder committed by them.Very shameful , Is this is the standard of NLU's?
