As originally enacted, how many Articles, Parts and Schedules did the Constitution of India comprise?
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B.
1. The ICSI material describes the Constitution as 'a comprehensive document containing 395 Articles (divided into 22 Parts) and 12 Schedules'.
2. The figures refer to the position **as originally enacted** in 1950; subsequent amendments have added new Articles (e.g. 21A, 35A) and Schedules.
3. The 395-22-12 combination remains the standard recall question for entrance papers because it tests the student's grip on the original architecture before amendment.
4. The other figures circulated in commentary (448 Articles, 25 Parts) belong to the *current* count after decades of amendment and are not the figures used by the ICSI text.
