Tricks to Easily Remember Articles of the constitution For Competitive Exams: Complete 2025 Guide

Introduction

Articles of the Constitution are very important for competitive exams. These questions are frequently asked in the General Awareness section. Now, I will provide some codes to help you easily remember the articles. In this section, we will cover the codes for Articles 1 to 122; the remaining articles will be covered in another section. Before we start, let’s go over some basics about our Constitution.

The first Constitution of India, framed and given to themselves by the people of India, was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 26 November 1949. It came into full operation with effect from 26 January 1950. The Constitution, as originally adopted, had 22 parts, 395 articles, and 8 schedules. Its present text is as amended from time to time. Now, let’s learn the codes of Part 1 articles of the Constitution.

Part 1: The Union and Its Territories (1-4 Articles)

In this part, we have only 4 articles, so it’s easy to remember. The code NEEL will help you recall the first part articles of the Constitution. Now, let’s decode the NEEL code.

• N – Name – Article 1 – Name and Territory of the Union
• E – Establishment – Article 2 – Admission or Establishment of New States
• E – Existing – Article 3 – Formation of New States and Alteration of Areas, Boundaries, or Names of Existing States
• L – Laws – Article 4 – Laws Made Under Articles 2 & 3

This is the code for Part 1. Don’t get confused between Article 2 and Article 3. Article 2 deals with territories that are not currently part of India, such as new lands joining the country. Article 3, on the other hand, deals with the alteration of existing territories within India. Now, let’s move on to Part 2.

Part 2: Citizenship (5-11 Articles)

In this part, we have 7 articles, so it’s easy to remember. The code CMFMTOFCP will help you recall the second part articles of the Constitution. Now, let’s decode the CMFMTOFCP code.

This is about Part 2 articles. Don’t get confused between Article 6 and Article 7. Article 6 states that persons who came to India from Pakistan before July 19, 1948, are Indian citizens. Article 7 deals with those who migrated to Pakistan during the Partition but later want to return to India and their rights regarding citizenship. Now, let’s move on to Part 3.

Part 3: Fundamental Rights (12-35 Articles)

In this part, we have Articles 12 to 35, so it’s easy to remember. Here, the code is different. I will give a paragraph, and the first letter of each word in that paragraph forms the code. Now, the code is— State Invalidates Equality. No Judge Uses Titles. Free Crime Life Education Arrests Traffic Of Children. Faithful Men Never Attempt. Culture Matters. Mogged by Power Martial Law.
