Chandigarh, March 26

Students and teachers across the tricity have declared the economics paper of the CBSE Class XII easier but its macroeconomics part was tricky.

“It was a well-balanced paper, which was easy to attempt in the given time frame. I will secure good marks in the exam,” said Varun Sharma, a student of Hansraj Public School, Sector 6, Panchkula.

Himanshi of Gurukul Global School, IT Park, Chandigarh, said: “All questions were based on concepts. Thanks to the understanding of the subject I developed at school, I found all questions easy.”

“It was quiet an easy paper. Not as tough as we had expected it to be. I look forward to a good result,” said Aishvarya Thakur, a student of DAV Public School, Sector 15, here.

“The paper was based on our NCERT books. It was a student-friendly paper and even average student can easily pass with good marks,” said Shreya Sharma, a student of DAV Public School.

What experts say

“The Economics paper was as per the blue print given by the CBSE. It is a judicious mix of questions based on understanding, remembering, application and high-order thinking skills. Microeconomics section was easy and simple to attempt. However some students found a question on determination of equilibrium national income and output in macroeconomics section a little tricky. Overall, it is a scoring paper,” said Khamoshi Kakkar, economics teacher at Hansraj Public School.

“This year’s question paper was a fine example of a balancing act. It was designed to accommodate all genres of students, while at the same time to hurl some challenge to the student intelligentsia. In my opinion, the income, savings and consumption schedule from macroeconomics was a bit too much for the students,” said Sameer Kamboj, economics teacher at Gurukul Global School.

“It was a student-friendly paper. The questions were straight forward, not with much twist. Now, as a teacher I really wish that we should not get strict with checking of economics paper,” said Jaishi, economics teacher at DAV Public School.
