The decision will be implemented from the 2025-2026 academic session.
The notification (dated May 27) asked the school heads to ensure that the student has the ability and aptitude to handle Class 11 mathematics.
Notably, in CBSE, two levels of Mathematics for the Secondary School Examination were introduced from the academic session ending March 2020 onwards.
Those who took Basic Mathematics in Class 10 are allowed to study Applied Mathematics only.
However, the board gave exemption and allowed Basic Mathematics students to study Math in Class 11 because of the COVID 19 pandemic and other issues. This exemption will continue for the 2025-26 academic session as well.
The board requested schools to pass this information to parents and students. The board added that once the subject is filled in the List of Candidates (LOC), it can not be changed later.
