 GENERAL INFORMATION:
I. Project (One): What’s Going around, the purpose of this project is to–
1. Enable the student to understand the scope and repercussions of various Economic events and happenings
taking place around the country and the world. (e.g. The Dynamics of the Goods & Services Tax and likely
impacts on the Indian Economy or the Economics behind the Demonetization of 500- and 1000-Rupee
Notes and the Short Run and Long Run impact on the Indian Economy or the impact of BREXIT on the
European Union etc.)
2. Provide an opportunity to the learner to develop economic reasoning and acquire analytical skills to
observe and understand the economic events.
3. Make students aware about the different economic developments taking place in the country and across the
world.
4. Develop the understanding that there can be more than one view on any economic issue and to develop the
skill to argue logically with reasoning.
5. Provide an opportunity to the learner to explore various economic issues from his/her day- to-day life and
issues which are of broader perspective.

Economics Project Guidelines

While selecting your topic of project, keep in mind some basic factors:
1. Know what you are doing. Even if you have secured help from a senior or anyone else, learn the whole
thing and see if you can understand the intricacies. It is shameful that most students do not understand the
basics of money (e.g.) and submit projects on RBI and its functioning.
2. Your project should be unique, at least by 40%. Long story cut short, if you and your mate are doing the
same project, yours should be at least 40% different from his/hers.
3. Do not overdo. It is always necessary to present everything related to that topic. A topic on consumer
behaviour might even take you to behavioural economics; but that is not necessary. Focus on the precise
details and do not make it too lengthy.
4. Take proper guidelines from your project in-charge, how much is too much and how a project should be
presented in front of the External Examiner.
