CBSE Allows Basic Math Students To Study The Subject In Class 11

NEW DELHI: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has allowed students with basic mathematics in Class 10 to pursue the subject in Class 11 onwards.

The decision will be implemented from the 2025-2026 academic session. The CBSE, in a notification, has asked the school heads to ensure that the student has the ability and aptitude to handle Class 11 mathematics.

Notably, in CBSE, two levels of mathematics for the Secondary School Examination were introduced from the academic session ending March 2020 onwards.

The mathematics (standard) is for those students who wish to opt for mathematics (041) at Class 12 level, while the mathematics (basic) is for students who are not keen to pursue the subject at higher levels.

Earlier, the CBSE had given an exemption to offer mathematics (041) in classes 10th and 12th to the students who offered mathematics (basic) in Class 10. However, the decision was affected because of the coronavirus pandemic and other issues.

As per the change, the relaxation students who offered mathematics basic (241) are now also allowed to offer mathematics (041) in Class 11.

“Before permitting mathematics (041) in class XI to such students, the head of the institution/school should satisfy that the students have the aptitude and ability to pursue mathematics (041) in class 11th,” a notification issued by the CBSE said.

It is important for parents to note that once the subject is filled in LOC, no changes will be entertained.

However, the CBSE said that this relaxation would not be applicable once the new scheme of studies was implemented. The new scheme of studies will be based on the recommendations of the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE).
