SUMMER BREAK ENGAGEMENT PLAN

Economics
PROJECT WORK

Dear Students,

Please follow the guidelines enlisted below for the project work which you have to do for the Board
Examination 2024-25.

Do carry out research, read extensively, explore and think ‘out of the box’ to make your project unique
and more meaningful. Formulating a research question is the first step towards undertaking a research
project. The project will give you added benefit and required exposure for university admissions too.
You will be evaluated out of 20 marks for these project files and a viva voce will be undertaken by an
external examiner.

Best wishes to all of you - Please stay healthy and be safe.

Reach out to me in case of any queries:
