Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 25-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

About this test

Constitutional Bodies GK Practice Quiz: Indian Polity Basics Level 1

This Level 1 quiz tests the basics of India's constitutional bodies: the Election Commission, the Comptroller and Auditor-General, the Public Service Commissions, the Finance Commission and the national commissions for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes. Each question on Aptitude360 checks one direct fact about who appoints, who removes and what each body does.

Topics covered in this Constitutional Bodies set

  • Election Commission: its Article, appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner, removal safeguards and the move from a single-member to a multi-member body
  • Election duties: preparing electoral rolls and conducting elections to Parliament and State Legislatures
  • CAG: appointment by the President, removal process, status after retirement and where audit reports go
  • Public Service Commissions: appointment, term and removal of members, Joint Commissions and their duties
  • National commissions: the commissions for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes and the amendments behind them
  • Finance Commission: the Article that provides for it

Key facts on constitutional bodies to revise

  • State Election Commissions, not the Election Commission of India, conduct Panchayat and Municipal elections
  • CAG reports on Union accounts go to the President and on State accounts to the Governor
  • A Public Service Commission member is removed for misbehaviour only after a Supreme Court inquiry

How to revise Indian Polity constitutional bodies

  • Make a table for each body with its Article, appointing authority, removal process and reporting line
  • Learn each national commission's amendment alongside its Article

Who this Level 1 quiz suits

Aspirants for SSC, banking, state PSC and other GK-based exams who are starting Indian Polity and want the core facts in place before statement-based questions.

FAQs about Constitutional Bodies – GK Quiz with Answers – Level 1

What are constitutional bodies in India?
Constitutional bodies are institutions provided for directly in the Constitution of India, such as the Election Commission, the Comptroller and Auditor-General and the Public Service Commissions. Changing the constitutional provisions that create them needs a constitutional amendment, though Parliament can regulate some aspects, such as conditions of service, by ordinary law where the Constitution allows.
Who appoints the Chief Election Commissioner?
The President of India appoints the Chief Election Commissioner and the other Election Commissioners.
Who conducts Panchayat and Municipal elections?
Panchayat and Municipal elections are conducted by the State Election Commission of each State, not by the Election Commission of India.
How is the CAG of India removed?
The Comptroller and Auditor-General can be removed only in the same manner and on the same grounds as a Judge of the Supreme Court.
