8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

National Income and Its Measurement & Economics and the Economy: Basic Concepts

  • Define the three methods of measuring national income (product, income, expenditure) and write one worked numerical example for each

  • Compute GDP, GNP, NNP and per capita income from a given set of figures, showing each adjustment step

  • Distinguish nominal from real national income and explain why the GDP deflator matters for comparisons over time

  • Identify the circular flow components between households, firms and government, and label where leakages and injections enter

  • List five limitations of national income as a welfare measure and give a Karnataka-relevant illustration for two of them

Your checkpoint

A one-page formula sheet plus three solved numericals on GDP/GNP/NNP and per capita income, self-marked against the steps

Week 2

Money, Banking and Credit

  • Explain the functions of money and classify the money supply measures used in India by their components

  • Describe the primary, secondary and quantitative credit-control functions of the Reserve Bank of India and match each tool to its effect on liquidity

  • Trace how a commercial bank creates credit from a primary deposit, computing the money multiplier for two reserve ratios

  • Compare formal and informal credit sources and state three consequences of dependence on informal lenders

  • Work out simple interest, compound interest and EMI-type repayment figures for a small loan

Your checkpoint

A credit-creation worked example showing the deposit expansion table for a 10 percent reserve ratio, plus a 10-item glossary of banking terms

Week 3

Public Finance and the Government Budget & Globalisation, Trade and International Institutions

  • Classify government receipts into revenue and capital, and tax and non-tax, using current Indian budget terminology

  • Distinguish revenue deficit, fiscal deficit and primary deficit and state what each reveals about government finances

  • Explain the objectives of fiscal policy and evaluate one argument for and one against deficit financing

  • Summarise the role of the WTO, IMF and World Bank and contrast their functions in one sentence each

  • Analyse two effects of globalisation on Indian producers and consumers, citing a sector-specific example

Your checkpoint

A mock one-page budget summary for a hypothetical state, showing receipts, expenditure and all three deficit figures with a two-line interpretation

Week 4

Agriculture and Rural Development & Industry, Infrastructure and Services

  • Explain the role of agriculture in employment and output and describe two institutional credit sources for farmers

  • Outline the objectives and mechanisms of minimum support prices, public distribution and crop insurance

  • Distinguish basic infrastructure from social infrastructure and give two examples of each relevant to Karnataka

  • Describe the contribution of small-scale industry and the service sector to employment generation

  • Evaluate one government scheme each for agriculture and industry on reach, funding and stated outcome

Your checkpoint

A comparison table of two agricultural support measures and two industrial or infrastructure measures, with one strength and one limitation recorded for each

Week 5

Karnataka Economy and Development Issues

  • Map Karnataka's economy by sector and identify which sectors dominate state income and employment

  • Describe Karnataka's position in information technology, biotechnology and manufacturing, naming at least two industrial clusters or regions

  • Explain three regional imbalances within Karnataka and the policy responses intended to correct them

  • List the state's principal human development indicators and compare them with national averages where figures are known

  • Outline two state-level rural development or poverty-alleviation programmes and their delivery machinery

Your checkpoint

A Karnataka economy fact sheet of 15 verified data points with source and year noted for each, flagged where a figure needs confirmation

Week 6

Population, Poverty and Human Development & Sustainable Development, Environment and Consumer Awareness

  • Explain the theory of demographic transition and place India and Karnataka on its stages

  • Compute and interpret the dependency ratio and describe two effects of a rising working-age population

  • Distinguish absolute from relative poverty and describe how poverty lines are estimated

  • Define sustainable development and apply it to one local resource-use case

  • State the rights available to consumers under Indian consumer protection law and the steps for filing a complaint

Your checkpoint

A half-page case note applying sustainable development and consumer rights to one real local issue, such as groundwater use or a defective product purchase

Week 7

Economics and the Economy: Basic Concepts & National Income and Its Measurement & Money, Banking and Credit & Public Finance and the Government Budget

  • Re-derive the national income formulas from memory and solve two mixed numericals without notes

  • Answer 20 rapid-fire questions on money, banking and credit control, recording accuracy by subtopic

  • Redo every previously wrong question from Domains 1 to 4 and write the corrected reasoning in one line each

  • Explain in writing how monetary and fiscal policy would respond to high inflation versus high unemployment

Your checkpoint

A scored 40-question self-test across Domains 1 to 4 with an error log listing each mistake and its corrected reasoning

Week 8

Agriculture and Rural Development & Industry, Infrastructure and Services & Population, Poverty and Human Development & Karnataka Economy and Development Issues & Globalisation, Trade and International Institutions & Sustainable Development, Environment and Consumer Awareness

  • Recall the key facts, schemes and indicators from Domains 5 to 10 through spaced flashcards reviewed on three separate days
