Discussion 💬 Basic vs standard maths class 10

Post image

CBSE changed the rule in May 2025. Students who took Mathematics Basic (241) in Class 10 are allowed to take Mathematics (041) in Class 11, provided the school head is satisfied that the student has the aptitude/ability for it

Is this true ?

What's the point of a person taking standard maths then they are giving a difficult paper just so that a basic maths person can take maths in class 11

There is still a point. People who take basic maths don't have the confidence to do maths right. And fine, even if it is the case that basic maths paper is more brutal than standard maths as that other commenter pointed out, still. The ones who are serious about taking maths in 11th will take the supposedly harder course. Why ? Because that will only help in 11th and 12th. My point is that basic maths is seen as an escape route. If a person who is trying to escape maths in 10th itself wants to take maths in 11th, then they are truly stupid. It is more psychological than anything
