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

About this test

Non-Constitutional Bodies Level 2 Quiz: Statement and Match-List MCQs

This is the Level 2 non-constitutional bodies quiz on Aptitude360. It moves from simple recall to statement-based, match-the-list and chronology questions. The set checks whether you can link NITI Aayog, the CBI, the CVC, the NHRC, the NCW and the Lokpal to their legal basis, their powers and the order in which they were set up.

What this Level 2 Indian Polity set tests

  • Legal origin: matching each body with the Act or resolution that created it, and spotting the odd one out
  • Chronology: ordering the setting up of the CBI, CVC, NCW, NHRC, NITI Aayog and Lokpal, and the Acts behind them
  • Powers and functions: what the NHRC can and cannot do, and NITI Aayog's role as a policy think tank
  • Composition: the Lokpal's Chairperson, Members and judicial members, and the NITI Aayog Governing Council
  • Comparisons: the NCW against the National Commission for Scheduled Castes, and the CBI as a non-statutory body

Key concepts behind the trickier questions

  • The CBI draws its powers from an Act but was created by a resolution, so it stays non-statutory.
  • The CVC began as an executive body on the Santhanam Committee's advice and later became statutory through the CVC Act.
  • The NCW is statutory, while the National Commission for Scheduled Castes is constitutional.
  • The NHRC's recommendations are advisory and do not bind the government.

How to prepare for statement and matching questions

  • Judge each numbered statement as true or false on its own before reading the options.
  • Build a single timeline of when bodies were set up and when Acts were passed.
  • Note pairs that are easy to confuse, such as when the NCW was set up and when its Act was passed.

Who this medium-level quiz is for

Take it after the basics level if you are preparing Indian Polity for general awareness papers and want practice with UPSC-style statement formats.

FAQs about Non-Constitutional Bodies – GK Quiz with Answers – Level 2

Why is the CBI called a non-statutory body?
The CBI was created by a government resolution and not by an Act of Parliament. It uses powers under the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, but that Act did not create it.
Is the CVC a statutory body?
Yes. The CVC was first set up by a government resolution on the recommendation of the Santhanam Committee. It later got statutory status through the Central Vigilance Commission Act.
Is the NHRC a constitutional or statutory body?
The NHRC is a statutory body. It was set up under the Protection of Human Rights Act, and its role is mainly recommendatory.
What is the difference between constitutional and non-constitutional bodies?
Constitutional bodies, such as the Election Commission, the CAG and the Finance Commission, are created by provisions of the Constitution. Non-constitutional bodies are created in other ways, for example by an Act of Parliament, a state law or an executive resolution.
