For students wishing to take up Math, the CBSE Board has relaxed the rules for admission to Class 11.

Before, having Mathematics-Standard Paper in Class 10 was compulsory to take up the subject in Class 11 as per the admission rules.

However, the rule has been relaxed as a one-time measure because of the unique circumstances, and students who did not have Mathematics Standard paper in Class 10 can still opt for Class 11 mathematics.

The choice would help students who have chosen for Class 10 Simple Mathematics and are now looking forward to even taking up Class 11 mathematics.

The relaxation was made as a one-time measure only for the 2020-21 academic year batch.
