Delhi High Court Seeks NLU Consortium, BCI Response, UGC Response on Plea Challenging CLAT-PG Counselling Fees

The Delhi High Court has issued notice to the NLU Consortium, Bar Council of India (BCI), University Grants Commission (UGC), and the Central Government on a plea challenging the ₹30,000 counselling deposit and ₹20,000 confirmation fee for CLAT-PG admissions.

The petitioner had argued that the charges are discriminatory and exorbitant, and such a huge amount is unprecedented and has no relation whatsoever with the object and purpose for which the counselling is being requested.

The Court listed the matter for further hearing on July 2, 2025. A similar petition is also pending before the Kerala High Court, which is scheduled to take it up on July 22.
