Less than twenty-four hours after declaring the results for the Common Law Admission Test this year, the CLAT Core Committee has now withheld the results citing “technical discrepancies”..Applicants have been asked to continue to fill in their preference list while awaiting, “further intimation and guidelines”..The following message has been posted on the CLAT website:.Due to some technical discrepancies, the CLAT 2014 results declared on 31 May 2014 stands withheld till further intimation and guidelines on the admission process.The candidates are required to keep checking their LOGIN ACCOUNT regularly so that they can fill-in the preferences of the NLUs at appropriate time and also get the updated information about the CLAT in order to complete the formalities, if any, from their end. Any clarification may please be sent at helpdesk@clat.ac.in. CLAT Helpdesk will answer to the query within 48 hours..Like most of the years before, this year’s CLAT has brought along with it its fair share of controversy, as well as the demand for having a separate, and independent, entity organizing the examination. This year, the controversies surrounded the inclusion of TNNLS and DSNLU into the CLAT admission process. Out of the two universities, TNNLS has been provisionally included in the CLAT process while DSNLU will not be participating this year..As for the most recent incident of withholding results, this could well be the final push required for outsourcing the entire admission process. With no response from organizing university GNLU, applicants have little option but to wait and watch for further information..Update: At roughly 4:15 pm on June 2, GNLU’s Facebook Page displayed a Press Note explaining the reasons for the withholding of results, namely that:.During the process of dealing with the queries upon the declaration of the results, the only issue the Secretariat found was that the barcode sticker affixed on the front page of OMR answer sheet and candidate sticker affixed on the back page, in few cases, was mismatching. Any mismatch between the barcode and the candidate sticker can cause the marks being reflected against a different roll number. In other words, if on the OMR of candidate X, by mistake the barcode sticker of candidate Y was affixed on the front page, (s)he would get score of Y candidate than his/her own. This would obviously generate a scenario of mismatching of score and eventual incorrect merit list. To remove any error due to this mismatch and to ensure that the OMR-generated score belongs to the corresponding candidate only, the reconciliation of the barcode sticker and the candidate sticker has been undertaken for all candidates.The entire Press Note can be read here.
