STD- X FAQ's regarding Mathematics two level




F AQs on Two Levels of Mathematics


Q         What is the difference between the Standard Level and Basic Level of Mathematics in class X Board examination to be held in 2020?

Ans: The existing Mathematics examination is the Standard Level Examination. Standard-Level and Basic-level Question papers shall be based on the same syllabus. However the Standard-Level Mathematics assesses  higher Mathematical abilities  compared to Basic-Level. Accordingly,  the difficulty level  of the Mathematics – ‘Basic’ is less than that of Mathematics-‘Standard’.

Q         Are we increasing the burden on the child by introducing the concept of two  Levels of Exams in Mathematics?

Ans: No, because the option to pick either Level is with the student.  Further,  the syllabus prescribed by CBSE will remain the same for both the levels.

Q          Will this lead to dilution of Mathematics syllabus/teaching?

Ans: No, the idea is to make the evaluation more students centric and reduce the pressure on the student who doesn’t want to pursue Mathematics after class X.

Q          Can a student opt for both Standard Level and Basic Level Exams?

Ans: No. There is only one option, either Mathematics-Standard or Mathematics-Basic.


Q         To continue Mathematics as a subject in class XI/XII and further, which Level Exam does a student need to pass?

Ans: Mathematics-Standard is to be  passed at class  X, for taking up Mathematics at  Sr. Secondary level.





  Q       If a student qualifies only the Mathematics-Basics in class X, can he/she opt for  Mathematics in class XI/XII?

Ans: No. If he/she intends to take Mathematics in class XI/XII, he/she has to pass Mathematics-Standard.

  Q       If a student has registered for the Basic Level Exam but wishes to appear for the Standard Level after declaration of result, can he/she do so?

Ans: Yes. He/She can appear in the  Standard  Level  at  the  Compartment  examination, if he/she wishes to do so after passing the Basic Mathematics Examination.

Q       How I can get the Sample Papers and Q.P designs of  Standard  Level  and Basics level Mathematics papers?

Ans: Sample papers and Blue Print based on the curriculum for 2019-20 will be made available on : www.cbseacademic.nic.in., in due course of time.
