Maharashtra HSC Economics · Put your knowledge to work in context.
Economics is one of the papers in the Maharashtra State Board HSC (Class 12) examination, taken by students in the Arts, Commerce and Science streams who choose it as one of their subjects. It is a school-leaving board paper rather than a professional certification, so its main uses are eligibility for degree admissions, a base for BA/BCom Economics or business courses, and preparation for competitive exams that include an economics section. The syllabus is split roughly evenly between microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics covers basic concepts, utility analysis, demand, supply and elasticity, production, cost and revenue, and market forms with price determination. The Maharashtra HSC Economics case studies are 5 cases and about 3,731 words.
