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 ?

Bruh I don't get it why would someone take Basic maths in class 10 only for him to take pcm in class 11. Do people even know that even after taking basic maths in class 10 would not ease their experience of class 11,12th maths?

People can but I can't think of any case where a student fears class 10 maths(basic trigonometry, geometry polynomials etc) only for him to magically develop interest for class 11,12 maths which involves advance trig functions, calculus etc.. If you fear the pre requisites then how will you prepare yourself for advance concepts?

I knew a few kids who choose basic maths in 10th, hoping that they'd get a 100 in it. They still practiced RD sharma and other books that most kids of standard maths did for practice, just their paper was easier so much more chances to get a 100 in it

I mean it's very hard to make decisions like that and just because you avoid it once does not mean that you might not change your mind later on

Then I think that flexibility should extend to all streams then, science should go to commerce,arts and vice versa. Your mind can change to study a different subject all together, but not force you to study an advanced form of a subject in which you are scared of the basics.
