Mathematics is a crucial subject for CBSE board examinations as well as for the entrance exams since it carries a considerable weightage in total marks. CBSE Class 11th Maths syllabus has been divided into 6 units that students have to prepare for the upcoming exams.

According to CBSE Class 11th Maths Syllabus PDF, the examination will account for 80 marks and internal assessment will account for another 20 marks. Students will get 33% internal choices for all sections.

As per the CBSE Class 11th Maths Syllabus 2024, the Board has reduced up to 30% of the Maths 11th CBSE Syllabus for the 2024 academic session for classes 9 to 12. The thought is to reduce the burden for students due to the progressing COVID-19 crisis.
