Section 95 addressed equal opportunity in higher, technical and medical education during transition. It provided for continuing existing admission quotas and common admission processes under Article 371D for a ten-year period. This was a time-limited bridge while successor States developed their own arrangements. It did not make every university in both States identical, and the end of the period requires checking later admission rules for any present-day application.
The underlying constitutional reference to Article 371D is another exam anchor. A candidate should distinguish college admission policy from establishment of new national institutions in the Thirteenth Schedule. One governs access to seats in existing institutions during transition; the other lists development measures. If an exam asks the 2014 Act's ten-year admission provision, cite Section 95. If a student asks about current counselling eligibility, the operative prospectus and government rules are essential.
Worked example: A student asks whether local admission preferences vanished automatically on 2 June 2014. The Act contains transitional educational-access provisions involving Article 371D arrangements. Determine the course, admission year and operative rule. A transitional protection may have a specified duration and later amendments may alter implementation. Do not use a 2014 coaching sentence as a permanent statement about 2026 admissions.
Active recall: Which section deals with transitional admissions? How does it differ from the Thirteenth Schedule institution list?
