Question

Which Article of the Constitution of India prohibits the denial of admission into State-maintained educational institutions on the ground of religion or language?

• A. Article 29
• B. Article 28
• C. Article 39
• D. Article 30

Hint:

Remember: \[ \text{Article 29(2)} = \text{No discrimination in admissions} \] \[ \text{Article 30} = \text{Minority educational institutions} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understand the question.
We need the Article that stops state-funded schools and colleges from refusing admission on grounds of religion or language.

Step 2: Recall Article 29(2).
It says no citizen can be denied admission to a state-maintained or state-aided institution only on grounds of religion, race, caste or language.

Step 3: See its aim.
The clause gives everyone equal access to education and bans discrimination in admissions.

Step 4: Separate the others.
Article 28 is about religious instruction in schools, Article 30 lets minorities run their own institutions, and Article 39 is a Directive Principle.

Answer: Article 29 (Option 1).
