WBCS Main Examination 2023 — Paper V: Indian Constitution and Economy · Question 74 of 200

Q74
Indian PolityMaking of the Constitution & Salient Features
How many schedules are there in the Indian Constitution?
  1. a.22
  2. b.17
  3. c.97
  4. d.12

Answer: (D) 12

Answer as of 2023 — this may have changed since.

The Constitution now has 12 Schedules: eight originally, the Ninth added in 1951, the Tenth in 1985, the Eleventh in 1992 and the Twelfth in 1992. 22 is the number of languages in the Eighth Schedule and of original Parts, so it is the tempting wrong option.
