How to remember:
It is not necessary to remember each and every article in the constitution. Till Art 51A they are very important(each and every,) especially FRs and DPSPs. From article 52 all need not be memorised some are only important eg from A. 52 to 78 only: A.54 , 55, 61, 63, 72,74,76, and 78... After Ar. 72 if you remember some article till 151. It will be possible to remember the Articles till 213 just by adding 89 and 90.

For eg: if you know Article 72 is pardoning power of the prez then what is the pardoning power of the governor? Ans is 72 + 89= Art 161. this will work till Article 200 after that we need to add 90 because there is an extra article 201(descritionary power of governor to reserve the bill for the consideration of the president).

 Tips: Create a table with three column, with Article No., what it contains and the remarks:
For eg

 

Article 74



·         World ‘Shall’ added by 42nd AA. Made advice binding on prez.
·         44th AA added word “reconsider”
·         Council of Minister strength not more than 15% of LS.

 

76

 

Attorney-General for India

·         By prez

·         Qualification same as SC judge.

·         Legal matters

·         Tenure pleasure of the prez

 

79

 

Constitution of Parliament

·         Consist of prez+LS+RS

·         But prez not a member

 

80

 

Composition of the Council of States

·         250

·         12 by prez. Ground 4= lit, art, sc, soc service.

·         Elected elected MLAs

 

81

 

Composition of the House of the People

·         552 total

·         530 direct election

Hope it will help!!!
