Karnataka II PUC Economics (KSEAB) study plan

Karnataka II PUC Economics (KSEAB) · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Introductory Microeconomics

  • Define scarcity, choice, opportunity cost and the central problems of an economy, and state them in your own words without notes

  • Distinguish microeconomics from macroeconomics and classify ten given economic statements into each category

  • Construct a production possibility frontier and explain shifts versus movements along it using two worked examples

  • List the assumptions behind a market economy and identify each assumption in a short real-world example

Your checkpoint

A one-page handwritten summary sheet covering scarcity, opportunity cost, PPC properties and the three central problems, plus five solved PPC questions

Week 2

Introductory Microeconomics

  • Derive the three methods of measuring national income conceptually and explain why the three should give the same total

  • Compute simple numericals on value added, income and expenditure methods using small hypothetical data sets

  • Classify items as final or intermediate goods and as stock or flow variables in a set of twenty items

  • Explain the circular flow of income in a two-sector economy and mark where leakages and injections occur

Your checkpoint

A worked numerical file with at least eight solved national income problems showing full steps and answers

Week 3

Consumer Behaviour and Demand

  • State the law of diminishing marginal utility and illustrate it with a schedule and a diagram you draw from memory

  • Derive the demand curve from marginal utility and explain the assumptions that make the derivation valid

  • Compute total utility, marginal utility and consumer surplus from a given utility schedule

  • Distinguish cardinal and ordinal utility approaches and list the criticisms of each

Your checkpoint

A hand-drawn utility schedule and demand curve pair with a 150-word written explanation of the link between them

Week 4

Consumer Behaviour and Demand

  • Explain indifference curves, their properties and the budget line, and show the consumer equilibrium point on a diagram

  • Distinguish movement along a demand curve from a shift of the demand curve using five causes of each

  • Compute and interpret price, income and cross elasticity of demand from given data

  • Apply elasticity to a pricing scenario and justify the revenue outcome

Your checkpoint

A timed 45-minute self-test on demand and elasticity with at least 15 questions, scored and error-logged

Week 5

Producer Behaviour and Supply

  • Define production function, short run and long run, and distinguish fixed from variable factors with examples

  • State and apply the law of variable proportions, identifying the three stages on a diagram

  • Compute total product, average product and marginal product from a factor input schedule

  • Explain returns to scale and separate it from the law of variable proportions

Your checkpoint

A completed product schedule with all three stages labelled and a half-page written justification of stage boundaries

Week 6

Producer Behaviour and Supply

  • Derive short-run cost curves from a cost schedule and explain the shape of each curve

  • Distinguish fixed, variable, average and marginal cost and compute each from given totals

  • Explain the relationship between marginal cost and average cost at the point of intersection

  • State the conditions of a firm's equilibrium under perfect competition using marginal cost and marginal revenue

Your checkpoint

A cost curve diagram set drawn from your own numerical schedule with a one-page explanation of each curve's shape

Week 7

Forms of Market and Price Determination

  • Tabulate the features of perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition and oligopoly in a comparison grid

  • Explain how price and output are determined under perfect competition in the short and long run

  • Describe price discrimination under monopoly and state its conditions

  • Interpret a simple demand and supply schedule to find equilibrium price and quantity after a shift

Your checkpoint

A one-page market structures comparison grid with equilibrium outcomes filled in for each structure

Week 8

Introductory Microeconomics & Consumer Behaviour and Demand & Producer Behaviour and Supply & Forms of Market and Price Determination

  • Revise all four domains using your own summary sheets and error log from weeks 1 to 7

  • Solve two full-length timed practice papers under exam conditions and score them

  • Re-teach the five weakest concepts aloud or in writing without referring to notes

  • Compile a final one-page formula and definition sheet spanning all domains

Your checkpoint

Two scored full-length practice papers with a written error analysis listing every repeat mistake and its fix

Milestones

Week 2: You can explain the three methods of national income measurement and solve a value-added numerical unaided within 10 minutes

Week 4: You score at least 70 percent on the timed demand and elasticity self-test and can draw the consumer equilibrium diagram from memory

Week 6: You can produce a full cost and product schedule from raw data and label every curve correctly without reference material

Week 8: Both full-length practice papers are scored above 60 percent with no repeated error from your log
