Central Board of Secondary
Education (CBSE) an autonomous organization under the Union Ministry of Human
Resource Development; Govt. of India, is considering to introduce two
mathematics papers in the Class 10 board examinations from the academic year
2019-20.
The premier
national board's governing body on Monday discussed the proposal. Under the
plan, there may be a "basic paper" for everyone and a "standard
paper" for those keen to join the science stream in Classes 9 and 12, two
governing body members said.
"Only those
who clear the `standard paper' will be able to study mathematics in Class 11.
So, would-be science students will have to clear the `standard paper',"
one of the members said.

The other member
said: "The governing body will meet again in June when a final decision
may be taken." Currently, the board curriculum provides for a single paper
in mathematics.
There's no plan to
have two papers in any other subject, the two governing body members said.
