Maths exam to have two options of test papers

According to the newspaper reports  the choice will have to be made while filling up the examination forms . The syllabus for the exam remains the same, students would be examined at two different levels.

They may have the option to choose between a standard-level or the existing-level mathematics question paper.

The step aims at providing a simpler question paper to those students who are not keen to pursue maths for higher studies.It may start off as a pilot project from March 2019 if the success rate is high, it is expected that the model may be extended to the Class 12 boards too.

The higher-level paper would have more questions on applied mathematics and involve higher order thinking skills (HOTS).

CBSE has formed a 15-member committee comprising mathematics experts, and those from universities, schools and NCERT.

Several foreign countries follow this practice
