As per the 2019 circular, CBSE introduced two levels of math for Class 10 students: students can opt for Maths Standard if they're planning to continue with advanced math in Classes 11 and 12, otherwise, students opting for Basic Maths can only choose Applied Maths in further classes. 

• The two levels of Examination will be held in the subject of Mathematics in the Board examination for Class X in the year 2020 and the same shall not apply to the internal assessment in Class X.  
• There shall not be two levels of Assessment/Examination for class IX.  
• The first level would be the same as the existing one, and the other would be an easier level.  
• The nomenclature for the two Examinations will be; Mathematics-Standard for the existing level of examination, and Mathematics-Basic for the easier level of examination.  
• The syllabus, classroom 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 will 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 the List of Candidates (LoC) by the affiliated school to the Board online.

However, schools must carefully evaluate whether each student has the skills needed to succeed in advanced math. Additionally, no further changes can be made once students have selected their subjects for Class 10 in the academic session 2024-25. Therefore, students, parents, and school staff need to make these choices thoughtfully.
