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 35-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

Constitutional Bodies GK Level 3: Indian Polity Questions with Explanations

Constitutional Bodies GK Quiz Level 3 is an Indian Polity practice set on bodies created by the Constitution itself: the Election Commission, the CAG, the Public Service Commissions, the Finance Commission and the national commissions for SCs, STs and Backward Classes. Questions use statement, matching and chronology formats. Aptitude360 gives a worked explanation for every question.

Areas of Indian Polity tested in this Level 3 set

  • Election Commission: removal of the CEC and other Election Commissioners, its change from a single-member to a multi-member body, and electoral rolls
  • CAG: appointment by warrant, audit of Union and State accounts, and who receives each audit report
  • Public Service Commissions: Joint Commissions, and appointment, tenure and removal of State PSC members
  • Commissions for weaker sections: the split of the original SC and ST commission, and the Backward Classes commission
  • Article mapping: linking bodies and functions to their Articles and arranging them in Article order

Constitutional body facts worth revising

  • The CEC and the CAG can be removed only in the manner of a Supreme Court judge. Other Election Commissioners are removed only on the CEC's recommendation.
  • CAG reports on Union accounts go to the President and those on State accounts go to the Governor, each laid before the relevant legislature.
  • The Governor appoints State PSC members, but only the President can remove them, with a Supreme Court inquiry required when misbehaviour is the ground.
  • The National Commission for Backward Classes began as a statutory body and was later given constitutional status by amendment.

How to prepare for detailed polity statements

  • Keep one table per body listing its Article, appointing authority, removal process and reporting authority.
  • Write the Election Commission and the weaker-section commissions as two short timelines for chronology items.
  • In statement items, check who appoints and who removes, since options often swap the President and the Governor.

FAQs about Constitutional Bodies – GK Quiz with Answers – Level 3

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, the Union and State Public Service Commissions and the Finance Commission. Changing the constitutional provisions that govern them requires a constitutional amendment, though some details can be set by ordinary law.
What is the difference between constitutional bodies and statutory bodies?
A constitutional body gets its existence from the Constitution. A statutory body is created by an Act of Parliament or a State Legislature, and that law can amend or abolish it.
How is the Chief Election Commissioner removed?
The Chief Election Commissioner can be removed only in the same manner and on the same grounds as a judge of the Supreme Court. Other Election Commissioners can be removed only on the recommendation of the Chief Election Commissioner.
Who appoints and removes State Public Service Commission members?
The Governor appoints members of a State Public Service Commission, but only the President can remove them. Removal on the ground of misbehaviour needs an inquiry by the Supreme Court first.
