Question

Education is now placed under which list after the 42nd Amendment?

1. A. Union List
2. B. State List
3. C. Concurrent List (Correct answer)
4. D. Judicial List

Correct Answer

Option C — Concurrent List

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Concurrent List.

Key Points

• Before the 42nd Amendment (1976), education sat in the State List.
• The 42nd Amendment moved it to the Concurrent List, so both the Centre and the States can now legislate on it.
• The same amendment shifted several subjects (forests, weights and measures, administration of justice) to the Concurrent List — remember education as one of that batch.
