Syllabus boundary and source test
This topic sits inside the Senior Secondary 2026 syllabus block “Indian Political System with Special Reference to Rajasthan”. The exact in-scope bullets are: “Indian political system: President, Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, Parliament, Supreme Court, Election Commission”; “Political and administrative system of Rajasthan: Governor, Chief Minister, State Legislative Assembly, High Court, Rajasthan Public Service Commission, State Election Commission, State Information Commission, State Human Rights Commission, State Chief Secretary, district administration”; and “Local self-government and Panchayati Raj”.
That boundary is important. The topic is not a survey of every constitutional or statutory body in India. It is a classification-and-function topic built around the named bodies: Election Commission of India, Rajasthan Public Service Commission, State Election Commission, State Information Commission, State Human Rights Commission, State Chief Secretary, district administration, local self-government and Panchayati Raj.
Use a simple source test. A constitutional body draws its core status from the Constitution. A statutory body is created by an Act. An executive-administrative office works through the government system even when rules, conventions and service law support its work. In CET answers, write the source, level, main function and one limit of the institution.
