Discussion
As per the Indian Constitution, the essential qualifications to become a Chief Election Commissioner are:
Answer: D
The answer is None of the above.
Article 324, which creates the Election Commission, prescribes no qualifications for the Chief Election Commissioner. The Constitution leaves appointment to the President, and the tenure and conditions are fixed by law.
In practice CECs have often been senior civil servants, but service in the IAS is not a constitutional requirement. A minimum age of thirty-five is a qualification for the President, and the Constitution lays down neither an age nor years of legal practice for the CEC.
