GNLU's Secretariat clarification on CLAT 2014 results

The conducting body of the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2014 Gujarat National Law University (GNLU) has given clarification on CLAT results withheld.

Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2014 entrance test results has been withheld due to some technical discrepancies.

On 02nd June, CLAT website has given a notification about the results that 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.

According to the latest notification, "The CLAT -2014 secretariat, Gujarat National Law University, has received emails from several CLAT-2014 candidates expressing concern on the marks expected and the score declared."

"To ensure integrity and confidentiality of the OMR sheet, the candidates were required to put the barcode sticker on the front page of OMR while name, signature, roll number and candidate sticker were to be affixed along with invigilator's signature, and later concealed on the back page of the OMR sheet during the examination. Candidates were also required to sign the attendance list, after affixing of the stickers, in addition to display of admit card and signature by the invigilators. "

"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 process integrity and confidentiality standards adopted by the CLAT -2014 Secretariat are very high and the robust mechanism has been adopted to eliminate any scope of error. Therefore, candidates are advised and reassured that they should have no doubt whatsoever. Furthermore, OMR answer sheets will be uploaded in individual candidate's login account once the reconciliation process is over. In addition to access to softcopy of their own OMR,the CLAT-2014 Secretariat will be open for interested candidates for physical verification" said in a notification.

He further mentioned that the revised results will be declared as soon as possible and they will ensure that any delay due to this reconciliation is reduced to the maximum extent possible. CLAT-2014 Secretariat thanked all for their patience, understanding and cooperation.
