data-contrast=\"auto\">In <a href=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/\">UPSC IAS preparation<\/a>, one subject which most of the students find very difficult to start with and understand is <a href=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/mcqs-on-indian-economy\/\">Indian Economy<\/a>. They mostly struggle with the approach, textbooks to follow and how to read Indian Economy related news in the newspaper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Indian Economy\u00a0consists of both static as well\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/current-affairs\/\">current affairs<\/a>. In this subject, textbook will\u00a0build your basic understanding and help you to solve around\u00a03-5\u00a0% of\u00a0the total questions\u00a0asked in the UPSC Prelims exam. Students need to refer\u00a0multiple sources to better understand Indian Economy\u00a0and fetch good marks in both UPSC Prelims and Mains.\u00a0Every year around 10-15% questions are asked in UPSC Prelims exam\u00a0from\u00a0static portion, current affairs (schemes) and India Year Book. It has even increased up to 30 % in\u00a02018 and 2019\u00a0UPSC Prelims\u00a0exam.\u00a0So, in any case students cannot avoid this subject as it is as important as History, Polity and Geography.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we will discuss in detail about the study approach of Indian Economy. This article would be very\u00a0helpful for those who are scared of this subject and always try to run away from this. Once\u00a0you\u00a0will understand\u00a0the basic concepts of\u00a0Indian\u00a0Economy, you will start enjoying this subject and\u00a0eventually\u00a0you will have a good command over this subject.<\/p>\n<p>Before starting any subject in UPSC IAS preparation, it is advisable for all the students to see the past year trend of both UPSC Prelims and Mains questions. Indian Economy is part of both <a href=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/upsc-prelims-syllabus\/\">UPSC IAS Prelims Syllabus\u00a0<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/upsc-mains-syllabus\/\">UPSC Mains Syllabus<\/a>. Hence, it becomes very important for the students to study this subject with right approach and have a good understanding over the topics asked in the exam.<\/p>\n<p>In the following table, we will see the total number of questions asked in the\u00a0UPSC Prelims exam in last 6 years from Indian Economy:<\/p>\n<p>prelims 2021 &#8211; 14<\/p>\n<p>2022 &#8211; 18<\/p>\n<p>2023 &#8211; 12<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Year<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Total number of questions asked<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2020<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>14<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2019<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>28<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2018<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>29<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2017<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>14<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2016<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>15<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2015<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>21<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Overview of the <a href=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/upsc-syllabus\/\">UPSC IAS syllabus<\/a> for Indian Economy:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Phase<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Syllabus<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>UPSC Prelims- General Studies (Paper I)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>Economic and Social Development \u2013 Sustainable Development, Poverty, Inclusion, Demographics, Social Sector initiatives, etc.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>UPSC Mains- General Studies (Paper III)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>Economic Development<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Study approach of Indian Economy subject for UPSC IAS:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Read the syllabus:<\/strong>\u00a0Students need to go through the syllabus of Indian Economy for both UPSC Prelims and Mains. It will give them a\u00a0detailed guideline about what they have to read and what they have to leave. Print the syllabus and stick that in that in your\u00a0study table.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Start with the basic\u00a0NCERT\u00a0textbooks:<\/strong>\u00a0To understand the basic concepts. One should start the preparation of Indian Economy with NCERT textbooks.\u00a0One simply read the book, highlight the important point and revise them. Notes making is not much important here.\u00a0Following are the NCERT textbooks which one need to read:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Class\u00a0IX NCERT textbook \u2018Economics\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Class X NCERT textbook \u2018Understanding Economic Development\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>class XI NCERT textbook \u2018Indian Economic Development\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>Class XII NCERT textbook \u2018Introductory Microeconomics\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>class XII NCERT textbook \u2018Introductory Macroeconomics\u2019 (Most important).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Take a step forward with advance book:<\/strong>\u00a0To cover each topic thoroughly and understand\u00a0everything\u00a0in detail, students need to refer one advance book for Indian Polity.\u00a0\u2018Indian Economy\u2019 by Ramesh Singh\u00a0is simple and good book to understand the topics.\u00a0Here also, one should not run behind taking notes of each topic. Highlighting the things and multiple revision would be helpful for students.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Current Affairs:<\/strong>\u00a0Indian Economy is totally linked with current affairs. Topics like SLR, RR, GDP are current based. One must refer monthly current affairs magazine to cover current based issues. One thing is very important to note that, no <a href=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/factly\/\">current affairs magazine<\/a> can substitute the Newspapers. To cover Indian Economy related news, \u201cEconomic Times or Business Standards\u201d would be recommendable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Refer other miscellaneous materials:\u00a0<\/strong>After\u00a0reading <a href=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/download-economic-survey-2020-21-pdf\/\">Economic Survey<\/a> and Budget, your preparation will be\u00a0complete.\u00a0<strong>Economy Survey and Budget<\/strong>\u00a0will give you basic idea about How our country is developing. What is growth, what is the expenditure and\u00a0revenue? This will help you in both UPSC Prelims and Mains. One can also refer Economic and Political Weekly (EPW) magazine. This is\u00a0completely optional and will only be helpful when you have completed and revised the other things.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Focus more on Government Schemes\u00a0and some important topics of Indian Economy:<\/strong>\u00a0UPSC every year ask lots of questions on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/important-current-affairs-for-upsc-ias-prelims-2021\/government-schemes-and-programs\/\">Government Schemes<\/a> related to\u00a0Indian Economy.

After that, weekly they can solve MCQs based on complete syllabus of Indian Economy.\u00a0It will help them to reduce their fear and also build their logic on solving MCQS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Answer writing practice:<\/strong>\u00a0After completing the whole syllabus once, students must start answer writing practice on <a href=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/upsc-previous-year-question-papers\/\">Previous\u00a0Years Question\u00a0<\/a>of UPSC Mains. They should also practice daily\/weekly answer writing based on their\u00a0capacity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Revision is the key:<\/strong>\u00a0Revision is the key to Success.
