The Assam Accord remains central to citizenship debates in ADRE papers, while Panchayati Raj questions appear in Assam Police SI exams to assess local governance knowledge. Historical events like the Assam Movement highlight resilience, often twisted into tricky MCQs.
Key Focus Areas
- Sixth Schedule: Tribal administration and councils in Assam.
- Assam Accord (1985): Immigration safeguards and cut-off dates.
- Panchayati Raj: Three-tier rural governance structure.
- Political History: From Ahom resistance to post-independence movements.
Practice these to score 80%+ in polity sections—examiners love bilingual formats for inclusivity.
