@Thinker yeah my source was somewhat non specific w.r.t Article 332(1).

However insertion by 57th amendment act of article 332(3A) says..

-----------------------

3A.Notwithstanding anything contained in clause

(3), until the taking effect, under article 170, of the re-

adjustment, on the basis of the first census after the year

6

[2026], of the number of seats in the Legislative Assemblies of the States ofArunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya,

Mizoram and Nagaland, the seats which shall be reserved

for the Scheduled Tribes in the Legislative Assembly of

any such State shall be,—

(a) if all the seats in the Legislative Assembly of

such State in existence on the date of coming into

force of the Constitution (Fifty-seventh Amendment)

Act, 1987 (hereafter in this clause referred to as the

existing Assembly) are held by members of the

Scheduled Tribes, all the seats except one;

(b) in any other case, such number of seats as

bears to the total number of seats, a proportion not

less than the number (as on the said date) of members

belonging to the Scheduled Tribes in the existing

Assembly bears to the total number of seats in the

existing Assembly.

------------------------------

So on this basis i think we can say this is anexception based on Indigenous SC population(0.5%)

For the states of Nagaland and Meghalaya not having reservation for SCs in legislative assembly till completion of 2026 delimitation and is indeed a constitutional provision.

All these things are a matter of speculations but I am not able to find out the provision which specifically make provision for no reservation for SCs in Legislative Assemblies of Meghalaya and Nagaland. 57 and 51 CAA too pertains to certain modifications in the reservation for STs only without explicit mention to SCs. For the statement to be incorrect I need a specific source.

@Thinker 

The question is whether Constitution provides for the reservation to SC/ST in all state then yes it provides for it as per article 332. The same article makes an exception (by virtue of 51 and 57 CAA) for STs in certain areas of the state and not for the entire state. But as far as reservation to SCs are concerned Constitution has not made any specific exceptions.

@Thinker  if you download a PDF of the fifth schedule and search key words like "education, school", there is not a single mention of them.

It's a verbatim previous year question of 2012 and the answer is as per the official key of UPSC. Further, the question isasking for bearing on education and not mention of education.

Hmm.. no specific restrictions are mentioned w.r.t Scheduled Castes and it is only by virtue of high ST population and 332(3[a]) that SCs don't get reservation there.

Moreover the source i referred didnot incorporate 57th amendment.

Thanks for clarification.

How is option 2 correct? The manner of distribution of taxes u/a 270 is prescribed by president on the recommendations of FC. 

FC is a recommendatory body, does it have the power to actually "divide" the proceeds?!

Sir, the discussion session post test 9 ended with the view thatOriginal jurisdictioncomprises of whatever is mentionedunder Article 131 only(NOT writ jurisdiction to be precise). Similarly,appellate jurisdictiondoesnot include special leave under Article 136.

Q.20) Can anyone plz tell me why schedule V n VI are related to education provision?

Bcos the territorial councils mentioned in the 5th and 6th schedule have the power to make laws on primary and secondary education.

Test 11 - Q28.

How is Option 3 incorrect?

It says "The Finance Commission recommends the state government to improve the finances of the Panchayat"

For example, it can suggest the state govt to empower local govt to impose advertisement tax and assign productive local assets to Panchayats.

Test 11 , Q 9 ; shouldn't the answer be B , as 1st statement is right & 2nd wrong ..
