In the meantime, candidates who choose Basic Mathematics paper instead of Standard Maths paper will not be allowed to take Maths as a subject in class 11^th.

This option is available for students provided they pass the basic maths exam at first.

It is to note that candidates must fill the form cautiously as they will not be allowed in further changes once the form is submitted. As per the board, students who have opted for basic maths in class 10^th will not be allowed to take maths in class 12. However, if a student performs well in the basic maths paper and want to take maths in class 12, he/she will have to take the maths compartmental exam that will be conducted in July next year.
