Tips for your answer

  • Start with the RIGHT keyword (Exam trigger)
  • Always mention:
  • 👉 “10th Schedule + 52nd Amendment, 1985”
  • This signals conceptual clarity instantly to the examiner.
  • Show BOTH sides (Balance = marks)
  • Don’t just praise or criticize.
  • Write in this structure:
  • Stability ✔️ vs Dissent ❌
  • Balanced answers = higher marks in GS2.
  • 3. Add a CURRENT example (Value addition)
  • Use:
  • Recent mass defection/merger case (2026)
  • Even 1 line of real example makes your answer stand out from generic copies.
