Indian Economic Development
NTA's own syllabus heading, quoted from the CUET (UG) 2026 syllabus. Where this comes from
NTA's heading: Indian Economic Development
NTA's Economics syllabus is three courses: Introductory Microeconomics, Introductory Macroeconomics and Indian Economic Development, each split into units with a list of topics. It prints no chapters and no split of the 50 questions across the courses. So the areas here are NTA's three courses, and the chapters inside them are ours: a unit that covers several ideas, such as consumer behaviour and demand, is split into a chapter for each, so that a chapter can be practised in one sitting. All three courses are here.
