Polity · Federalism

Part 3 of 7

Division of powers

The Constitution divides law-making into three lists. Any subject named in none of them is a residuary subject, and that power belongs to Parliament.

Check yourself

A brand-new subject appears in none of the three lists. Who can make laws on it?

Only Parliament
Both Parliament and the States

Correct. Article 248 gives residuary power to Parliament alone.

Progress you can feel

Completion tracking, mock scores and weekly leagues turn a long syllabus into a steady, visible climb.

02How it works

One loop, repeated until the syllabus is yours

01

Read

Short pages, one idea each. Plain academic English built from NCERT and state-board foundations, with the article numbers, dates and names exams actually test.

02

Check

A question waits at the end of every section, right where you just learned it. Answer before you move on, with a clear explanation either way.

03

Revise

Miss a question and it quietly joins your revision queue. It returns on a spaced schedule, again and again, until it sticks.

04

Prove it

Drill flashcard lessons, sit timed mocks, and work through real previous-year questions going back to 1995, every answer explained.

03Why students switch

Most prep apps make you watch. This one makes you remember.

The usual way

  • Hours of lectures to sit through
  • A question bank bolted on at the end
  • Reread, highlight, forget
  • Banners, upsells and noise

The GS Prep way

  • Ten-minute readings you actually finish
  • A check after every section, where it sticks
  • Retrieval practice on an automatic schedule
  • One calm place to read, practise and revise

04The method

Designed around what learning research actually shows

01

Testing beats rereading

Across a meta-analysis of 272 effects, answering practice questions beat restudying the same material. That is why our questions are not optional extras.

02

Placement matters

Questions inserted right after a passage outperform the same questions asked at the end. Ours sit exactly where the research says they should.

03

Spacing beats cramming

Reviews spread over growing intervals hold material far longer than massed repetition. Your revision queue runs on that schedule.

Findings from peer-reviewed research on practice testing, question placement and spaced repetition.

The syllabus is long. Start the loop today.

Read a topic, answer its checks, and let the revision queue carry what you miss. Free to start, calm throughout.
