No. Added by 42nd amendment in the preamble.
@upsc2020 was secular term originally present in the constitution?
I think it was present in the 'constitution' before the 42nd aa. The word has been mentioned in Article 25 (2).
However in the 'preamble' it was added by 42nd aa.

You're right. Missed that entirely. The brain is so used to the question that secular was added to preamble. Thank you !
Casablanca,
Which of the following Acts gave representation to Indians for the first time in legislatures?
The framing of the question is bit bad.
Indian Councils Act 1861 had provided for the presentation of Indians for the first time in the Indian Legislative Council of the Viceroy. Accordingly, 3 members were nominated by the Governor-General Canning in Indian Legislative Council in 1861 itself.
The Indian Council Act 1891 had provided for indirect election for the Indian Legislative Council i.e. certain members in the Legislative Council were to be nominated by the Viceroy on the recommendation of the local bodies.
The Indian Council Act 1909 had provided for direct election for the first time and also for the separate electorates to Muslims.
Thus the answer here shall be D i.e. none of the above.
Casablanca,
Higher education in India starts from which standard?
8th std onwards OR 12th std onwards?
The school system in India has four levels: lower primary (age 6 to 10), upper primary (11 and 12), high (13 to 15) and higher secondary (17 and 18). T
he lower primary school is divided into five “standards”, upper primary school into two, high school into three and higher secondary into two.
tamtar,
We know that appeals against Central Administrative Tribunals lie before divisional bench of concerned High Courts. Where do appeals against State Administrative Tribunals lie? Is it also against High Courts or District Courts?
It should lie with high courts. Both state and central administrative tribunals are constituted by the parliament, therefore the appellate mechanism should also be the same.

What types of questions are asked from Modern History regarding wars between Brits and Indian rulers ( like Anglo-Mysore wars) in Mains.
I am confused about how to make notes for such wars. Sometimes I think everything is useful and other times I think nothing is important except the name of war and year. I am confused regarding how to prepare pre and mains differently ( at least for pre-colonial history).
