Key Points: Reasons for Indirect Election

Direct election could make the President a rival power centre to the Council of Ministers, harming the parliamentary system.
A directly elected President would need real powers, which the Constitution does not intend.
Election only by Parliament could make the President a nominee of the ruling party.
An Electoral College (MPs + MLAs) ensures representation of both the nation and the States.

Oath & Term (Brief)

The President takes oath to protect the Constitution and serve the people.
The term of office is 5 years; resignation is given to the Vice-President and removal is by impeachment.
