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

Indian Polity GK Level 1: Prime Minister and Council of Ministers Practice Quiz

This Level 1 Indian Polity quiz is for beginners building the basics of the Union executive. It covers how the Prime Minister and other ministers are appointed, collective responsibility to the Lok Sabha, and the office of the Attorney General. Aptitude360 explains every answer, so each question also works as a short revision note.

Topics covered in this Union executive GK set

  • Appointment of the Prime Minister, and of other ministers on the Prime Minister's advice
  • Three ranks of ministers, allocation of portfolios and the rules of business
  • Oaths of office and secrecy, who administers them and the Schedule that contains their forms
  • Collective responsibility to the Lok Sabha and cabinet solidarity
  • What happens when the Prime Minister dies or resigns, or a single minister resigns
  • Attorney General: appointment, qualification, remuneration, duties and right of audience
  • Amendments on binding ministerial advice, reconsideration and the cap on ministry size

Key concepts to revise on the Prime Minister and Attorney General

  • Ministers hold office during the pleasure of the President
  • A non-member can become a minister but must enter Parliament within six consecutive months
  • The Attorney General may speak in Parliament but cannot vote
  • Disqualification for defection also bars appointment as a minister for that period

Revision tips for Union executive questions

  • Link each constitutional Article to a one-line summary of its subject and revise them in sequence
  • Compare the Attorney General with Union ministers side by side: who appoints them, who determines the Attorney General's remuneration, and who can vote in Parliament
  • Learn which amendment made ministerial advice binding and which one added the reconsideration proviso

Who should take this Level 1 polity quiz

This quiz suits general awareness learners who are starting Indian Polity and want a firm base on the Union executive before moving to the harder levels.
