Hi

In 10th cbse board, there are 2 options for maths.

----------) Standard maths : - it is for those who want to study  maths after 10th like those who wants to have science with MATHS i. e PCM for 11th and 12th.  Also, they are free to choose any stream like science with pcm/pcb, commerce or even arts.

----------) Basic maths :- it is for those who don't want to study maths after 10th like those who wants to science with Biology i. e PCB,  commerce , arts etc in 10+2.

No, if you choose basic maths in 10th , then you won't be able to do software engineering

This because,

In order to be eligible for admission in computer science/software engineering, you must have maths in 10+2 and to be eligible for having maths in 10+2, you must pass standard maths in 10th. With basic maths you cannot take maths for your 11th & 12th

So, if you are in 10th then you must choose standard maths to be eligible for engineering

To help you further,

After your 10th , one can go for following options :-

>>>>>>>  10+ 2  :-

One has to choose any one of science  Commerce , Arts/Humanities streams.

---------------------------)  Science :-  The science stream can be further divided into 3 groups depending upon the subjects one chooses

• ****** Non medical :- Science with PCM i.e physics, chemistry , maths group. There's no biology in PCM group.

One should basically choose this if they want to pursue engineering /architecture etc in future.

• ******  Medical  :- Science with PCB i.e  physics, chemistry biology.

You should choose PCB group if you want to get into medical field like mbbs, bds, nursing etc in future .

• ******  PCMB  :- You can even go for science with PCMB i.e physics Chemistry Maths and Biology  if you are interested in studying both Maths and Biology in your 10+2. But yes, it becomes a bit difficult to handle both biology and Maths.

One advantage of choosing pcmb is after 10+2 you can go for both medical courses like MBBS, bams, nursing etc and non medical courses like engineering as well.

--------------------------)   Commerce   :- You get to study subjects like Accounts, Business studies, Economics & Maths ,Commerce etc. If you want to become a chartered accountant, company secretary, financial advisor etc in future, then commerce is for you. In commerce you acquire commercial knowledge required for business.

---------------------------)   Arts   :- If you like subjects like history, polity etc then you can go for Arts. You get to study subjects like History, Geography, Literature, Political Science, economics etc. You should go for arts if you aspire to get into Journalism, literature,languages, history, psychology etc.

>>>>>>>   Polytechnic / Diploma :   - After   your 10th you can go for diploma courses in various branches of Engineering like mechanical, Electrical, Civil etc on the basis of your interest.

>>>>>>>    ITI    :- ITI is a skill development course which you can go for after your 10th , you can do iti any trade of your choice like Electrician, fitter, Welder etc.

>>>>>>>    Paramedical courses :-    after your 10th you can go for various paramedical courses for which you can get detailed information at https://medicine.careers360.com/articles/paramedical-courses-after-10th-12th

Now, out of all these options which should you go for depends upon:-

***Your interest

***What do you want to become,

For example,

You should choose PCM science if you want to become an engineer, PCB science if you want to become a doctor, you should choose commerce if you want to be a banker or an accountant, you should choose arts if you want to become a journalist or you are interested in literature etc. So, it all depends upon your interest and what do you want to become in future so take your time and decide.
