UPPCS Polity Gap Sheet: Schedules and Parts.
UPPCS has asked all 20 of these. Read this page as a full revision list: these are the facts that come back.
First, the concept
The Constitution began with 8 Schedules; four were added later: 9th (1951, land laws), 10th (1985, anti-defection), 11th (1992, Panchayats) and 12th (1992, Municipalities). Each new Schedule tells you which amendment made it.
Parts were added the same way: IVA Fundamental Duties (42nd), IXA Municipalities (74th), IXB Co-operative Societies (97th), XIVA Tribunals (42nd).
✅ Already asked (20)
The twelve Schedules
- First Schedule · Names of States and Union Territories with their territories
- Second Schedule · Salaries and allowances of the President, Governors, judges, CAG, Speaker
- Third Schedule · Forms of oaths and affirmations (not the President's)
- Fourth Schedule · Rajya Sabha seats for States and UTs
- Fifth Schedule · Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes (other than the North-East four)
- Sixth Schedule · Tribal areas of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram; Autonomous District Councils
- Seventh Schedule · Union, State and Concurrent Lists
- Eighth Schedule · 22 languages; started with 14; Sindhi (1967), Konkani, Manipuri, Nepali (1992), Bodo, Dogri, Maithili, Santhali (2003)
- Ninth Schedule · Laws shielded from court review (1st Amendment 1951); I. R. Coelho (2007) opened post-1973 entries to review
- Tenth Schedule · Anti-defection (52nd Amendment 1985); Presiding Officer decides
- Eleventh Schedule · 29 subjects for Panchayats (73rd Amendment)
- Twelfth Schedule · 18 subjects for Municipalities (74th Amendment)
Parts worth knowing
- Part III and Part IV · Fundamental Rights; Directive Principles
- Part IVA · Fundamental Duties, Article 51A (42nd Amendment)
- Part IX and IXA · Panchayats; Municipalities
- Part IXB · Co-operative Societies (97th Amendment 2011)
- Part XIVA · Tribunals, Articles 323A and 323B (42nd Amendment)
- Part XVII · Official Language, Articles 343–351
- Part XVIII · Emergency Provisions, Articles 352–360
- Part XX and XXI · Amendment (368); Temporary, Transitional and Special Provisions
⚠️ The President's oath is in Article 60, not the Third Schedule. The Sixth Schedule covers only four North-East States; the rest of India's tribal areas fall under the Fifth. The Ninth Schedule is not a full shield since the I. R. Coelho case.
