Why study Information Technology?
CBSE Class 9 Information Technology (Code 402) is a 100-mark skill subject where 50 marks come from the practical examination, making it one of the most scoring subjects on the report card when prepared properly. It builds the LibreOffice, data-entry and digital-documentation foundation that directly carries into Class 10 IT 402 board exams, so a strong start in Class 9 makes the board year far easier. Beyond marks, the course develops genuine computer literacy, employability skills and confidence with office software that students use throughout school and beyond. Because the syllabus is hands-on, students who learn it properly in Class 9 rarely struggle with the practical and viva components later.
The digital documentation, spreadsheet and presentation skills built here are the everyday tools of nearly every office, data, IT and business role, and they form the literacy layer beneath any future computer science or engineering study. Students who continue into Class 11/12 Computer Science, Informatics Practices or IT, and later into CS/IT degrees, benefit from this early comfort with software and structured problem-solving. The employability and ICT skills units also align with the practical capabilities the wider IT and ITeS industry expects.
