Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 30-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

FAQs about Important Amendments and Articles – GK Quiz with Answers – Level 2

What are the important amendments of the Indian Constitution?
Major ones include the First Amendment, which added the Ninth Schedule, the Forty-second, called the mini-Constitution, and the Forty-fourth, which reversed several Emergency-era changes. Others are the Seventy-third on Panchayats, the One Hundred and First on GST, the One Hundred and Third on EWS reservation and the One Hundred and Sixth on women's reservation.
What is a special majority for a constitutional amendment?
Each House must pass the Bill by a majority of its total membership. It also needs at least two-thirds of the members present and voting.
Is there a joint sitting for a Constitution Amendment Bill?
No. Each House must pass the Bill separately, and there is no provision for a joint sitting if the two Houses disagree.
What is the basic structure doctrine?
The Supreme Court laid down in the Kesavananda Bharati case that Parliament can amend the Constitution but cannot destroy its basic structure. The judiciary decides what forms the basic structure.
