According to the circular, school heads must ensure students switching from Basic Math to core Math in Class 11 are academically prepared for its rigour.

The Board has instructed schools to communicate the change to parents and students so they can make informed subject choices while filling the List of Candidates (LOC)

While Mathematics (Standard) caters to those wish to pursue the subject in higher studies, Mathematics (Basic) is designed for those who do not wish to continue with it beyond Class 10

However, the CBSE has clarified that the current decision will remain valid only until a new scheme of studies is introduced
