What’s in the Class 12 Economics NCERT Book — Introductory Microeconomics (2026-27 Edition)
The book opens with an Introduction to economics and central problems, then covers the Theory of Consumer Behaviour, Production and Costs, the Theory of the Firm under Perfect Competition, and closes with Market Equilibrium.
Study Tip
Microeconomics is diagram-heavy — practice drawing and labelling the demand, cost, and market equilibrium curves from each chapter by hand, since board questions frequently ask you to derive or interpret a graph rather than just state a definition.

Why This Book Matters for Boards
Introductory Microeconomics forms roughly half of the CBSE Class 12 Economics paper, alongside Introductory Macroeconomics, and its diagram-based and numerical questions on consumer behaviour, costs, and market equilibrium carry significant weightage. A solid grasp of this book is also foundational for further study in commerce or economics at the undergraduate level.
