According to the National Curriculum Framework, not only would the two levels of examination cater to different kinds of learners and allow different levels of testing, they would also reduce overall student stress levels. "It is well known that students experience greatest stress before and during their most 'difficult' subject exam," the circular said. "Keeping in view of this important aspect and as evidenced by the board results, the board has decided to introduce two levels of examination in Mathematics for the students who are going to appear in the board examination for the academic session ending March 2020 onwards," it said. The syllabus, classroom teaching and internal assessment for both the levels would remain the same.

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

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

Students have to pass Mathematics-Standard in CBSE class 10 board exams to take up Maths at the senior secondary level.
