How is the President of India elected?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Indirectly by an electoral college

Correct answer: A — the President of India is elected indirectly by an electoral college, not by a direct vote of all citizens. The electoral college includes elected members of both Houses of Parliament and elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the States; constitutional provisions also cover the relevant Union Territory assemblies. The purpose is to give representation to the Union and the States in choosing the constitutional head. Option A is correct because it identifies both the indirect method and the electoral college. B is wrong because citizens do not vote directly for the President in a nationwide presidential election. C is wrong because the Supreme Court does not elect the President. D is wrong because the Prime Minister alone has no such power. Memory cue: President—indirect election through elected representatives.
