  • Maximum Marks: 200 (40 × 5)
  • Exam Mode: Computer-Based Test (CBT)

2. Chapter-wise Weightage (2022-2024 Trends)

The syllabus is based on NCERT Class 12 Economics (Indian Economic Development). The weightage distribution is as follows:

  • Least Weightage:
  • India vs. China/Pakistan Comparison (2-3 questions)
  • Current Affairs Linkage:
  • Questions on GST, Digital Economy, COVID-19 Impact appeared in 2023-24.

  • Focus Areas:
  • Poverty, Unemployment, Economic Reforms, Infrastructure (60-70% weightage).
  • NCERT Class 12 (Indian Economic Development) is sufficient.
  • Avoid Neglecting:
  • Sustainable Development & Comparative Growth (often overlooked but scoring).
  • Practice:
  • Previous years’ CUET papers & mock tests for negative marking awareness.

The highest weightage is on Current Challenges (Poverty, Employment, Infrastructure) , followed by Economic Reforms (1991). A balanced approach with NCERT revision and current economic trends will ensure high scores.
