CBSE Stream Selection in Class 11: Check Combination of Subjects Here

CBSE Stream Selection in Class 11: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) released the marking policy for the calculation of marks for the class 10th students. Since the class 10 board exams have been cancelled due to the pandemic, therefore students will be marked based on the released criteria. However, many students haven’t even started thinking about the stream yet. After the release of the marking policy, the students are confused about the selection of subjects and the choosing of streams for class 11 in CBSE schools. 

CBSE stated, “As per the scheme of studies of the Board, students are allowed to offer any combination of subjects without any streaming, and hence, schools should also follow the same.” As per the board, this scheme is not new. CBSE has always given students the liberty to choose their subjects for class 11 and 12 as per their wish, provided it falls in the scheme of subjects offered by the board. 

CBSE Stream Selection in Class 11

As per the official scheme of CBSE, students are allowed to pick a maximum of 9 subjects and a minimum of 5 subjects. However, the important question that comes to the minds of students is - can they opt for subjects like Maths, History, Biology and Physics all together? The answer is yes, and this is not something new being offered by CBSE. It has been offered for several years. Also, the school allows opting for those subjects for which they have teachers.

So what if the students opt for a subject even if the school does not have a teacher in that particular subject or cannot arrange for the class as they follow streamwise sections? The answer is yes, even then a student can opt for a paper and do Dept study, register for it for the Board exam and take it. This is not a new scheme.

The students can choose one language and any four electives in any combination provided it is being taught in the school. An additional 6th subject can also be offered and studied on their own as per the prescribed syllabus, out of the subjects offered by the board.
