can I take PCM in class 11th if I am opting for basic maths in class 10th?

Here are the simple steps to take the PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) stream in Class 11 if you had Basic Mathematics in Class 10:

1. Check the eligibility criteria for the PCM stream in your school or board.

2. The main requirement is usually an overall good percentage in Class 10, around 60% or more.

3. Many schools and boards allow students with Basic Mathematics in Class 10 to take PCM in Class 11.

4. However, you may need to put in extra effort to handle the more advanced Mathematics syllabus in the PCM stream.

5. Speak to your teachers or school counselors to understand the requirements and get guidance.

6. As long as you meet the overall percentage criteria, you should be able to take the PCM stream in Class 11.

The key is to check the specific requirements with your school or board and be prepared to work harder on the Mathematics part if you had Basic Maths earlier.

But you can definitely opt for the PCM stream in Class 11 even with a Basic Maths background in Class 10.

Hello aspirant,

No, even if you pass basic mathematics in class 10th, you cannot get into PCM in class 11th since you need to have completed standard mathematics in class 10th to be eligible for PCM in class 11th. So if one wants to take PCM after 10th, then they must opt for standard maths.

Thank you

Hope this information helps you.

Hey There,

No, you cannot take PCM in your class 11th if you had basic maths in your class 10th. It is a mandate for a student to have Standard Mathematics in class 10th to opt for PCM in class 12th. It doesn't matter if you change your school or education board, this rule is applicable in all schools and educational boards.

Hope you'd find this answer helpful.

hello jatin,

you cannot opt for PCM in class 11th as you didnt have standard maths in you class 10th examintaion.s

having passed 10th standard with standard maths is necessary for you to opt PCM in class 11th because in further studies it would be difficult for you to understand certain concepts that require maths proeficiency.
