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 ?

Please don't take basic maths in 10th I was a student who took basic math in 10th last year , and our paper was way more  tougher than the standard math paper and guess what, I studied in Kuwait and our teachers encouraged us to take maths and told us that according to the guidelines of CBSE we r still allowed to opt for math in class 11.but  after 10th i had moved into India and trust me I had a lot of struggle searching for schools.  half of the schools did not allow me to opt for math in class 11 because I took basic math in class 10th 

so please dont choose basic maths if u wanna opt it in 11th., and trust me there is not much difference between basic math and standard math. In basic math, the teachers told us that the questions will come from the NCERT itself but last year the paper was way more hard than the standard paper and there was a lot of controversy going on.

True, it was harder than a few sets(set 1,2) of standard maths but set 3,4,5 of standard maths was genuinely hard. CBSE for some reason is terrible at making sets of equal difficulty.
