21Note to Economics teachers (class XII) for the Board Examination to be held in March 2015
Dear Teachers
As you are aware, CBSE has re-drawn a new blue print for its forthcoming board examination. We
would like to highlight that the question paper design will be based on the blue print given in the
Curriculum Booklet for 2015. It is important to re-iterate the following:
1. There will be 29 questions in all.
2. There break-up of the number of questions is as follows:
a. 8 questions of 1 mark each
b. 8 questions of 3 marks each
c. 5 questions of 4 marks each
d. 8 questions of 6 marks each
3. Microeconomics and macroeconomics will have equal weightage of 50 marks each.
4. The unit wise break up will be as follows:
Part A: Introductory Microeconomics
1. Introduction
6
2. Consumer's Equilibrium and Demand
16
3. Producer Behaviour and Supply
16
4. Forms of Market and Price Determination under perfect competition with
12
simple applications
Part B: Introductory Macroeconomics
5. National Income and Related Aggregates
15
6. Money and Banking
8
7. Determination of Income and Employment
12
8. Government Budget and the Economy
8
9. Balance of Payments
7
5. The typology of the questions will be as follows:
a. Remembering
25%
b. Understanding
25%
c. Application
20%
d. Higher Order Thinking
20%
e. Multidisciplinary & Evaluation 10%
(for question-wise break up under each typology, please refer to the Curriculum
Manual)
Please note that this is a divergence from previous years, as earlier application, HOTS and value
based questions were of a smaller percentage.
6. Given the above parameters, it must be noted that the break-up of questions will not be
equal across Microeconomics and macroeconomics.
7. Further, it must be noted that the sample paper is only indicative. The number of questions
in the Microeconomics and Macroeconomics sections may actually change in the board
examination but all other parameters will remain the same.
8. There will be an internal choice in one question in the 3, 4 and 6 mark questions in both
Microeconomics and Macroeconomics.
Please note that the sample paper is only indicative of the kind of questions that may be asked in the
Board Examinations.
