"Education" is the subject matter of which list after the 42nd Amendment to the Indian Constitution?
Concurrent List
State List
Union List
Residuary Subject
The correct answer is Option (1) → Concurrent List
Before the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976, Education was a subject in the State List.
After the 42nd Amendment, it was moved to the Concurrent List.
This means:
Both the Centre and the States can now make laws on education.
However, in case of a conflict between central and state laws, the central law prevails (as per Article 254).
