How to approach Economics 318

Economics 318 front-loads the TMA: the first seven lessons are all assessed there. The exam lessons start after that and need steady practice, including the diagrams Economics answers often use. Taken with 319 and 320, it shares ideas with both, so commerce students often study the three together.

Combining Economics 318 with other subjects

It is in Group B, so it combines freely with other Group B subjects. Groups C, D, E and F allow one subject each. Transfer of Credit may apply if you passed it elsewhere in 2022 or later. Related: Business Studies 319, Accountancy 320, English 302.

What SWOT does for Economics 318

We teach Economics 318 alongside Business Studies and Accountancy, so commerce students can cover all three in one place. The TMA is your own work: we explain the questions and check your draft, but we don’t hand out solved TMAs.

Premium package (TMA and practical guidance) ₹11,000. Classroom coaching at our Pune centre ₹12,500 per subject per year. Home tuition in Pune ₹750 per hour. NIOS fees are paid to NIOS.
