Two levels of examination are being held in the subject of Mathematics in the board examination from 2020 onwards.

This year onwards we are introducing information technology as compulsory skill subjects in class 9 if a student fails in any one of three compulsory subjects that is Math’s , science and social science and passes in the skill subject then that subject will be replaced by skill subject and the result of class 10 board examination be computed accordingly.

It is expected in class 9 that a student should have studied and passed three languages in class 8 but if the student has been promoted without clearing third language he/she has to pass in the same in class 9 but the syllabus of class 8 will be asked.
