Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect. According to Article 54 of the Constitution, the President is elected by an electoral college consisting of the elected members of both Houses of Parliament and the elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the States (and UTs of Delhi and Puducherry). Members of State Legislative Councils (MLCs) and nominated members of Parliament do not participate.

Statement 2 is correct. Under Article 66, the Vice President is elected by an electoral college consisting of the members of both Houses of Parliament. This includes both elected and nominated members. Unlike the Presidential election, State Legislative Assemblies (and Councils) have no role in the election of the Vice President.
