State Government — Prelims Strategy

Prelims Strategy

Focus on memorizing specific constitutional articles (153-167 for executive, 168-212 for legislature, 214-237 for judiciary) and their key provisions. Create comparison charts between Governor and President powers, highlighting discretionary powers and limitations.

Maintain updated list of bicameral states and recent changes. Study landmark judgments chronologically with key observations and implications. Track current affairs about Governor-CM conflicts, state elections, and policy innovations.

Practice elimination techniques by understanding common traps like confusing Governor's appointment authority with President's, or mixing up discretionary and non-discretionary powers. Use mnemonics for remembering bicameral states and constitutional article numbers.
