This is the 2022 Semester Previous Year Question Paper for Public Finance — Delhi University DU & College under the UGCF/NEP framework. Free to view on Sulaksh.
Public Finance is a 4-credit Generic Elective (GE) offered by the Department of Economics under UGCF 2022, taught in 2025-26 as a public economics GE (as seen in GE PYQ 'Public Finance GE PYQ 2023 - Paper 2', 90 marks). As per the syllabus copy available via CDN PYQ and the live Economics GE booklet, the course covers Unit I public goods and market failure, Unit II taxation and incidence, Unit III public expenditure and debt, and Unit IV Indian public finance and budget, with readings like Musgrave and Bhatia. Examination is 90+30. Students often lose marks by confusing tax incidence with impact or by not citing the Union Budget, which the syllabus uses as a case study (as of 12 Sept 2026).
