Importance of Political Sector in CDS Test 

1. The questions in the Political section will have a great impact on passing the exam. The number of questions in the Political section ranges from 20 to 22.

1. These questions are very simple and usually come from standard textbooks. Taking a few mock tests will make it easier to navigate the political spectrum.

1. Legal questions are also asked in other competitive exams like the civil service exam and SSC exam.

Hence, a strong foundation in this area will help an aspirant to crack other exams.

Review of previous year's questions for the political sector 

We will now see the distribution of questions from the political sector.

1. We can divide Indian politics into various topics like Preamble, Fundamental Rights and Duties, DPSP, Inter-State Relations, State Parliaments and Legislatures, Panchayati Raj, Different Schedules, System law, law and order and various subjects.
2. This division reflects the division in the book: Laxmikant's Indian Rule.
3. The questions on the CDS exam cover each of these topics.

For instance: 

Which of the following is not related to the power of the governor?

1. Diplomatic and military powers 
2. Power to appoint Advocate General 
3. Convening, moving and dissolving the State Legislature 
4. Power to grant amnesty, compensation, remission, or remission of punishment 

The above question was raised in the chapter on Governors and the answer is option (A). Only the President has political and military powers and not the governor. This research can be done for many such questions.

Therefore, the key to research is that the questions are specific, honest and easy to understand. Sources for these questions are from reliable textbooks, standards available online and in many bookstores. Good knowledge of Indian politics will help to solve any question properly.
