Parliament — Prelims Strategy

Prelims Strategy

Focus on factual memorization of constitutional articles (79-122), numerical data (Lok Sabha 543, Rajya Sabha 245), and procedural details. Create comparison charts for Lok Sabha vs Rajya Sabha powers, Money Bills vs Ordinary Bills procedures, and different types of parliamentary committees.

Memorize landmark judgment names, years, and key principles - especially Keshavananda Bharati (1973) for basic structure doctrine. Practice elimination techniques by understanding common traps like confusing Vice President's role in joint sessions or misunderstanding anti-defection law provisions.

Stay updated with current parliamentary developments, recent committee reports, and procedural changes. Use mnemonics for remembering committee compositions and constitutional article numbers.
