What Is The Site Of NCERT?

Class XII 2007-2008 Economics – which to follow: old NCERT book or new one ?

  • I am in Class XII (2007-2008 batch) in the Commerce Stream, and I may point out the following: 1. There is considerable confusion after the revised NCERT book on Economics that has recently been uploaded in the NCERT site. Some schools are said to be following the old (last year’s) NCERT text book and some are following the new text book. The schools following the old book state that in terms of syllabus, there is very little change between the syllabus of last year and the current year, and so the last year’s text book covers the topics quite adequately, and CBSE has made it clear that CBSE is not automatically following NCERT syllabus changes 2. The new NCERT book substantially differs from the NCERT book of last year in terms of approach – the present book is more a mathematical approach whilst the earlier book was more descriptive. Though the topics covered are broadly the same, there is no doubt that if a student who prepares well based on either one of the books is asked to attempt a question paper based on the other, he would perform very badly. 3. I am quite concerned on this matter, and would appreciate if anyone can clarify.

  • Answer:

    Well I'm not sure if you will get the perfect answer so I will try my best. Economics as a discipline has been gravitating to math for some time. I am not sure the exact course you intend to pursue with your economics in the future, as I am not aware of how your educational system works. But to fully understand economic theory it is important to have a firm mathematical understanding as well as a conceptual understanding. I would recommend trying to learn both approaches if at all possible.
