Explanation
Education is in both the Concurrent List and the State List of the Indian Constitution.
The State List contains subjects on which state legislatures have the exclusive power to legislate. Entry 25 of the State List specifically mentions "education including universities, subject to the provisions of entries 63, 64, 65 and 66 of List I". This means that state legislatures have the power to make laws on education, including the establishment and administration of universities, subject to certain provisions of the Union List.
The Concurrent List contains subjects on which both the central government and state governments can legislate. Entry 25 of the Concurrent List specifically mentions "education, including technical education, medical education, and universities, subject to the provisions of entries 63, 64, 65 and 66 of List I and entry 25 of List II". This means that both the central government and state governments can make laws on education, subject to certain provisions of the Union List and the State List.
The Union List contains subjects on which the central government has exclusive power to legislate. While education is not specifically mentioned in the Union List, several entries in the Union List have a bearing on education. For example, Entry 66 of the Union List relates to the coordination and determination of standards in institutions for higher education or research.
Thus, the correct answer is C: Concurrent List.
