The President is elected by the elected members of the Vidhan Sabhas, Lok Sabha, and Rajya Sabha, and serves for a period of 5 years (although they'll stand for re-election). A formulation is used to allocate votes so there is a steadiness between the inhabitants of each state and the number of votes assembly members from a state can cast, 

and to provide an equal steadiness between State Assembly members and National Parliament members.
