What to Focus On

  • India has Union, State, and local governments.
  • The Union government has executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
  • The President and Council of Ministers form the executive.

  • The President is the constitutional head of the State.
  • Election is indirect through an Electoral College.
  • Voting is by secret ballot and single transferable vote.

  • All powers of the President are exercised on the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers.
  • The President appoints the Prime Minister and other Ministers.
  • The President summons, prorogues, and may dissolve the Lok Sabha.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The President is the real executive head of the Union government and personally makes all major decisions.

The President can use emergency powers independently whenever needed.

The President is a mere rubber stamp and has no meaningful role.

Memory Tips

President as nominal head and not real executive
