Check NowNEW DELHI: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to extend the provision to allow students who studied mathematics standard in Class 10 to opt mathematics in Class 11 for the academic year 2023-24. The CBSE Board relaxed the rule during the COVID-19 pandemic period as a one-time measure.

“Students of Class 10 who have studied mathematics standard (041) can offer mathematics (041) in Class 11. In case students who offered mathematics basic (241) in Class 10 are allowed to offer only applied mathematics in Class 11,” as per the 2019 CBSE circular. The rule has been relaxed by the board for the academic session 2023-24.
Therefore, students who were offered mathematics basic (241) will be allowed to opt for mathematics (041) in Class 11. However, “before permitting mathematics in Class 11 to such students, the Head of the Institution should satisfy that the students are having the aptitude and ability to pursue mathematics in Class 11,” the board said.
The exemption is given as a special measure to facilitate the present batch. The CBSE clarified that the circular issued in 2019 will be applicable from 2024.
