Polity means Indian Constitution and allied topics. Youll encounter these MCQs in UPSC
exams, Staff Selection and State service Class1, Class2, subordinate services, ACIO, EPFO
and certain central PSU jobs.
Polity can be classified into two parts: Static theory vs. Current Affairs
Recommended book depends on which exam youre preparing:

PS: Polity Topic hardly comes in IBPS, Banking sector exams so dont bother much in that
case.
To get strong grip over Indian Constitution, you must do Parallel study: e.g. once you read
Parliament, immediately read state legislative assembly chapter. Similarly
union related
1. President, VP
1. Governor
2. PM, Cabinet
2. CM
4. SC
4. High court
5. UPSC
5. State PSC
This type of reading / revision habit ensures UPSC cannot confuse you in tricky MCQs by
interchanging states provisions with union provision and vice versa.
After this:
1. FR, FD, DPSP. Provisions applicable to Aliens, NRIs, PIOs
2. Amendment, 5th & 6th schedule areas, 370
3. Finance commission => Planning Commission =>NDC
4. Bodies: Statutory vs Constitutional vs executive: their structure, functions. Youll find some
in the India Yearbook (eg. NALSA, Wakf board), some in prsindia.org (Equal opportunities
commission, unified financial agency) and so on.
5. Since these bodies will also hurt @Mains level, you should prepare a ready revision note.
Polity Current
Since this was an election year, most magazines and coaching material will be focusing on
election related current affairs. It is standard procedure, should be done.
But dont waste time mugging up trivial GK like which Constituency pulled highest vote
etc. otherwise remaining three months will be spent only covering election.
Focus: facts, features, principles. e.g. VVPAT, why Voting totalizer machine needed, how
does voters ink work, what are the deposits, when is deposit attached and so on.
Similarly, Hindu is giving ball by ball commentary on separation of Andhra this
Committee visited, that organization proposed xyz = again core facts/ features only.
Bills, Act: PRSindia.org
recent judgments like Transgender rights etc under Mrunal.org/Polity
