The CBSE Board has made it clear that the two-level mathematics regulation would be in effect beginning with the 2024–25 academic year. Understand what the law says.

For the academic year 2023–2024, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has agreed to extend the clause allowing students who took the mathematics standard in Class 10 to choose mathematics in Class 11. During the COVID-19 outbreak, the CBSE Board temporarily modified the restriction.

Beginning with the academic year ending in March 2020, the board introduced two-level mathematics for the All India Secondary School Examination on January 10, 2019. The most recent announcement coincides with the ongoing CBSE Class 11 admissions.

"Students of Class 10 may enrol in Mathematics (041) in Class 11 if they have studied Mathematics Standard (041). According to the 2019 CBSE circular, "Students who offered mathematics basic (241) in Class 10 are allowed to offer only applied mathematics in Class 11." For the academic year 2023–2024, the board has loosened the restriction. As a special gesture to assist the current batch, the exception is granted. The CBSE made it clear that the 2019 circular would take effect in 2024.
