The Delhi High Court is set to decide on September 8, 2025, whether scores from the CLAT PG exam can be used as the basis for recruitment in the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). The matter comes after petitions challenged the recruitment process, questioning whether CLAT PG rankings should determine eligibility for certain legal posts in the authority.
The court will review arguments from both NHAI and the petitioners, who have raised concerns over fairness and transparency in using exam scores for job selection. NHAI has defended the move, stating that CLAT PG is a nationally recognized exam that ensures merit-based evaluation for legal positions.
The verdict is expected to impact future recruitment practices within NHAI and could set a precedent for other government bodies considering similar policies.
Key highlights:
- Delhi HC to decide on CLAT PG score use for NHAI jobs
- Hearing scheduled for September 8, 2025
- Petitioners question the fairness of the recruitment criteria
- NHAI defends merit-based process via CLAT PG
- Ruling may affect future recruitment policies
