This course with subject code BTPCC403 is taught in the 4th semester of your 2nd year.

Key Concepts to Focus On

While we won't delve into the specific questions from the Winter 2024 supplementary exam, here are some key areas you should definitely concentrate on:

• Fundamental Rights & Duties: A thorough understanding of the Fundamental Rights enshrined in the Indian Constitution is essential. Don't forget the importance of Fundamental Duties as well!
• Directive Principles of State Policy: Understand what these principles are and how they guide the government in promoting social and economic justice.
• Human Rights Organizations: Familiarize yourself with the roles and functions of national and international human rights organizations like the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).

Study Strategies for Success

Here are some proven strategies to help you conquer the Basic Human Rights exam:

1. Active Reading: Engage with the material by highlighting key points, making notes, and summarizing concepts in your own words.
2. Case Studies: Relate theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios and case studies. This will help you understand the practical application of human rights principles.
