CBSE Allows Basic Math Students To Study Standard Math In Class 11
In a significant shift, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has allowed students who studied Basic Mathematics (241) in Class 10 to opt for Mathematics Standard (041) in Class 11, starting from the academic year 2025-26. This initiative offers greater flexibility to students in shaping their academic path, provided they meet certain conditions.
The decision, announced in an official notification dated May 27, 2025, marks a shift from the earlier rule where only students who had taken Mathematics Standard (041) in Class 10 were permitted to continue with the subject at the senior secondary level. Students with Basic Math were previously limited to choosing Applied Mathematics in Class 11.
According to the circular, heads of schools must assess and ensure that students who wish to switch from Basic Math to core Mathematics in Class 11 have the necessary aptitude and academic preparedness to handle the subject's rigour. The Board has instructed schools to communicate the change to parents and students so they can make informed subject choices while filling the List of Candidates (LOC). Once subjects are finalised in LOC, no modifications will be permitted.
This relaxation is a continuation of temporary exemptions introduced during the pandemic years, when students who opted for Basic Math were allowed to take Mathematics (041) in higher classes. However, the CBSE has clarified that the current decision will remain valid only until a new scheme of studies is introduced under the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE). Until then, other provisions of the earlier circular issued on January 10, 2019, will continue to apply.
The dual-level Mathematics system was introduced by CBSE in the 2019-20 academic session to offer students options based on their interest and future academic plans. While Mathematics (Standard) caters to those wish to pursue the subject in higher studies, Mathematics (Basic) is designed for those who do not wish to continue with it beyond Class 10.

JEE Advanced: CBSE students gain edge over state board counterparts
Hyderabad: Are CBSE students gaining an edge over state board students? Academics from the Telugu states seem to think so, especially with the number of rank holders from state board schools seeing a consistent drop over the years. In fact, many academics are now advising serious JEE aspirants to shift from state board to CBSE syllabus to increase their chances of clearing the entrance test. They say the IIT entrance has become even more aligned with CBSE ever since the National Testing Agency (NTA) started conducting the exam. Last year, there were four students from Telugu states in the top 10, as against two this year. "There has been an abnormal decline in top rankers lately from Telugu states. We feel the CBSE syllabus has a role to play. One, it is more aligned with NTA, and two, students do not have the stress of appearing for the board exam in class 11, which gives them an additional two to three months to prepare for JEE. Keeping this in mind, we are encouraging students, who have the potential to score top ranks, to opt for CBSE over intermediate," said V Ashok Kumar, core member, Narayana Group. Seconding with Kumar, S Vijayender Reddy, mathematics lecturer from IIT study center, Rajendranagar, Tribal Welfare Society, said the students who study intermediate, do not get any advantage in the JEE exam. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 개수 제한 없는, 부담 없는 임플란트 개당 36만원 과잉진료 없는 치과 지금 예약 Undo "While preparation for CBSE boards help students in JEE prepration, the same is not the case with Intermediate Public Examinations (IPE). The framing of questions or pattern is more inline with CBSE," he added and said that this year the difference in pattern is more evident. They also pointed out that students' inability to handle stress when the paper is tough, a substantial increase in interest among students from the rest of the country in JEE, and Telugu students moving to other states for coaching and appearing for the exam from other zones as probable reasons for the dip in top rankers from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, which come under IIT Hyderabad zone. "Our topper marked answers worth 20 marks wrong, though he got the right answer when he solved them. Mistakes like this cost him a spot in the top 5. Like him, many Telugu students are worried as they are scared of not getting a good rank. This is not the case with many other students, as they are more relaxed in their approach and try to give their best instead of worrying about ranks," said T Srinivas, dean, Kavuri Hills Zone, Sri Chaitanya Group. This year's cutoff nosedived due to a tougher paper, and from 109 marks in 2024, it is 74 out of 360, which is a decline of over 20%.
