It is composed of 250 members, 238 of whom are elected by the elected members of the legislative assemblies of the states and union territories, and 12 are nominated by the President of India. The term of office of a member of the Rajya Sabha is six years.
The number of seats allotted to each state in the Rajya Sabha is based on its population. Gujarat has a population of 60,409,234, which is 5.63% of the population of India. Therefore, Gujarat is allotted 11 seats in the Rajya Sabha.
