It carries the Preamble, all 25 Parts and all 490 article entries, being articles 1 to 395 with 108 lettered articles inserted among them, together with all 12 Schedules, First to Twelfth. The edition is published for the AIBE-XXII (22) cycle, whose paper is set for 29th November 2026. The text of the Constitution is freely available. What this Edition supplies is a volume built for speed of reference under examination conditions, and an amendment apparatus of a size no other title in this series carries. The Constitution is printed without commentary. Beneath the text sit 996 footnotes, which name the Amendment Act behind each change and the date it took effect, and which at 13 places also record that the Supreme Court has held a provision or an amendment invalid, naming the decision. Three reported cases are cited on that account. The AIBE paper sets 100 questions in 3 hours 30 minutes, a little over two minutes a question, and Constitutional Law carries 10 of the 100 marks, the joint-highest weight on the paper. Reaching the article is answered by a 22-page contents listing every article by number and marginal heading under its Part, and by an article number in the running head on every one of the 202 article pages, with the Schedule number running through the 74 Schedule pages. Knowing what is operative is answered by the footnotes, which is where this Constitution differs from a printed copy of the bare text: they carry both the legislative history and the judicial one. The volume prints no “law stated as on” line. The latest amendment in force is the Constitution (One Hundred and Fifth Amendment) Act 2021, in force from 15th September 2021. The Constitution (One Hundred and Sixth Amendment) Act 2023 is carried in the footnotes and its changes are marked as taking effect from a date yet to be notified, so a reader is not left to assume it is operative. In all the footnotes track 103 Constitution Amendment Acts, from the First of 1951 to the One Hundred and Sixth of 2023, together with 38 other instruments, among them the State Reorganisation Acts that redrew the First Schedule.
