This constitution quiz takes you through the Indian Constitution itself: the Preamble, key Articles such as 1, 21 and 324, Fundamental Rights and how they have changed, the features India borrowed from other countries, and recent amendments like GST and women's reservation. The questions run from easy to tricky, so the page works for school students, teachers, college learners and adults who simply want to know their constitution better.
Every answer carries a short explanation, so the quiz doubles as a fast revision tool. Play once for a score, then open the constitution quiz questions and answers in the answer key below and read through the reasons. Teachers can use it as a class activity before Constitution Day on 26 November or Republic Day, and aspirants for UPSC, state PSC and SSC exams can use it as a quick check before moving on to deeper polity reading.
The questions focus on what the Constitution says today, not only on its history. That is why several of them trace changes, such as the Right to Property moving out of the Fundamental Rights in 1978 and the Right to Education coming in through Article 21A in 2002.
Did you know? India's Constitution is often described as the longest written constitution of any sovereign country, and it has been amended more than a hundred times since 1950.
