Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

The 104th Constitution Amendment Bill, introduced in 2005, eventually became the 93rd Constitution Amendment Act, 2005. In Indian legislative history, it is crucial to distinguish between the Bill number (order of introduction) and the Act number (order of enactment).

  • Article 15(5): This amendment inserted Clause (5) into Article 15 of the Constitution.
  • Scope: It empowers the State to make special provisions (reservations) for the advancement of socially and educationally backward classes, Scheduled Castes, and Scheduled Tribes.
  • Educational Institutions: This power specifically applies to admissions in educational institutions, including private unaided institutions, with the exception of minority educational institutions.

At the time of the 2006 IAS exam, this was a current legislative event. The 104th Amendment Act (2020), which removed Anglo-Indian reservation, was enacted much later.
