The Electoral College for the election of the President consists of :
Answer: C
The Electoral College consists of elected members of both houses of Parliament and elected members of State Assemblies.
Under Article 54, the President is elected by the elected members of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha and the elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the states, including the National Capital Territory of Delhi and Puducherry (added by the 70th Amendment). Voting is by proportional representation with the single transferable vote.
Nominated members of Parliament and of the assemblies, and members of state Legislative Councils, do not vote. So options that include all members are wrong, and 'None of the above' is wrong too.
