CBSE Class 11 Economics - Sample Paper Blueprint & Marking Schemes Review section-wise weightage, model papers, statistics and microeconomics problems, and step-wise mark allocations for the 2026-27 session. 📋 CBSE Class 11 Economics Exam Pattern & Marks Distribution (2026-27):
• Total Marks: 100 (Theory: 80 + Project Work: 20).
• Time Allowed: 3 Hours. • Structure: Part A — Statistics for Economics (40 marks: Introduction 15, Collection/Organisation/Presentation of Data and Statistical Tools & Interpretation 25); Part B — Introductory Microeconomics (40 marks: Introduction 4, Consumer's Equilibrium and Demand 14, Producer Behaviour and Supply 14, Forms of Market and Price Determination 8); Part C — Project Work (20 marks). • Highest-Weightage Topics: Consumer's Equilibrium and Demand, and Producer Behaviour and Supply, are the single largest microeconomics units at 14 marks each. • Question Mix: MCQs, numerical/diagram-based questions (demand-supply curves, cost curves), Very Short Answer, Short Answer, and Long Answer, most with internal choices. Sample 1-Mark Question (MCQ): Which of the following best describes the "central problem of what to produce" in an economy?
Step-wise Marking Scheme:
• Correct Answer (1 Mark): Deciding which goods and services should be produced with the economy's limited resources, and in what quantities. • Reasoning: Since resources are scarce relative to unlimited wants, every economy must choose which goods to produce and how much of each, which is the essence of the "what to produce" problem. Sample 4-Mark Question (Long Answer - Consumer's Equilibrium and Demand): Explain, using the law of diminishing marginal utility, the condition of consumer's equilibrium in the case of a single commodity. Support your answer with a suitable schedule or diagram.
Marking Allocation:
1. Correctly stating the equilibrium condition — Marginal Utility of the commodity equals its Price (MUx = Px), measured in utility terms (2 Marks). 2. Explaining why equilibrium is not reached before or after this point, using the law of diminishing marginal utility (1 Mark). 3. Correct, clearly labelled diagram or schedule illustrating the equilibrium point (1 Mark). 📌 Evaluation Criteria followed by Board Examiners in Economics:
• Diagrams are Compulsory Where Asked: Questions on demand, supply, cost curves, or PPC expect a correctly labelled diagram — an answer without one, even if the text is correct, loses marks.
• Step Marking on Numericals: In statistics numericals (mean, correlation, index numbers), each correct step/formula application earns marks independently, even if the final answer is wrong. • Precision in Definitions: Economics answers are marked closely against the exact terms used in the NCERT textbook (e.g. distinguishing "movement along" vs "shift of" a curve), so approximate phrasing can cost marks. |
