Friday was the last date for registration for the test for students from classes VIII to X.
Speaking about the test, CBSE Chairman, Vineet Joshi said, "In today's day and age it is important to educate the next generation on economics. Fiscal knowledge plays such an important role in our lives that crucial decisions depend on it. This test would help children study in this direction and understand economics better."
