IMPORTANT CHANGES INTRODUCED BY CBSE FROM THIS SESSION TWO LEVELS OF MATHEMATICS PAPER First level would be the same as the existing one, and the other would be an easier level. Mathematics-Standard for the existing level of examination, and Mathematics-Basic for the easier level of examination.

The syllabus, class room teaching and internal assessment for both the levels of examination would remain the same; so that the students get an opportunity to study the whole range of topics throughout the year and are able to decide upon the level of Board examination depending upon their aptitude and abilities. The Standard level will be meant for students who wish to opt for Mathematics at Sr.Secondary level and the Basic level would be for students not keen to pursue Mathematics at higher levels.

A student will have the right to choose between the two levels of Examination at the time of submission of List of Candidates (LoC) by the affiliated school to the Board online.

In case student fails at any level of Mathematics, he/she can appear at the compartment examination as per norms of the Board according to the options given below: In case of failure in Compartment options Basic Mathematics -Basic Mathematics Standard Mathematics - Standard or Mathematics- Basic
