Computer Applications Classes

Master Object-Oriented Programming in Java with BlueJ for the ICSE board exam.

A complete preparation course for ICSE Class 10 Computer Applications, following the official CISCE syllabus. Students learn core Java and object-oriented programming concepts using the BlueJ environment, covering classes, methods, constructors, arrays, and string handling. The course balances the 100-mark theory paper with the 100-mark internal assessment of lab assignments and project work.

What you'll learn

  • Write and debug Java programs in the BlueJ environment following ICSE conventions

  • Build classes with default, parameterised and overloaded constructors
  • Use wrapper classes, autoboxing/unboxing and character/numeric library methods
  • Implement sorting and searching on single and double-dimensional arrays
  • Solve string-handling problems using String class methods

Tools you'll use

Exam pattern

Two components of 100 marks each. Theory: one written paper of 2 hours carrying 100 marks. Internal Assessment (practical): 100 marks, evaluated jointly by the subject teacher (50 marks) and a visiting external examiner (50 marks).

Practical / project

Internal Assessment requires a minimum of 20 laboratory assignments completed during the year, covering class design, coding, documentation, execution and testing in BlueJ/Java. Evaluation criteria include class design (10), variable description (10), coding and documentation (10) and execution/output (20), with the subject teacher and external examiner each awarding 50 marks.

Who it's for

ICSE Class 10 students taking Computer Applications who want to strengthen Java programming fundamentals and score well in both the theory paper and the practical internal assessment.

What's included

  • Live, interactive online classes taught personally by Kajal Ma'am with shared-screen Java + BlueJ coding
  • Chapter-wise study notes covering OOP, methods, constructors, library classes, encapsulation, arrays and string handling
  • Worked textbook solutions and ICSE-style programming questions for every unit
  • Regular coding assignments mapped to the 20+ lab assignments required for internal assessment
  • Dedicated doubt-solving sessions where students get individual attention on errors and logic
  • Previous-year and sample board paper practice for the 100-mark theory exam
  • Step-by-step guidance for the practical internal assessment: class design, documentation and execution in BlueJ
  • Viva and project-work preparation to help students face the external examiner confidently

Why study Computer Applications?

ICSE Class 10 Computer Applications is a high-scoring subject when concepts are clear, with a 100-mark theory paper and a 100-mark internal assessment, so it can meaningfully lift a student's overall percentage. More importantly, it is the foundation of programming logic in Java and object-oriented thinking that ISC Computer Science (Class 11 and 12) builds directly upon. Strong command over classes, methods, constructors, arrays and string handling now makes the senior-school transition far smoother. Because the syllabus rewards understanding over rote learning, structured live coaching turns a feared subject into a reliable scorer.

The Java and object-oriented programming skills built in this course are the same fundamentals used in engineering, BCA, B.Sc Computer Science and software development. Students who genuinely understand classes, methods and data structures here find first-year college programming, data structures and even competitive coding far easier. It is an early, practical step toward careers in software engineering, IT, data and AI.

Course FAQs

Are the ICSE Class 10 Computer Applications classes live or recorded?+
All classes are live and interactive, taught personally by Kajal Ma'am. Students code along on a shared screen in BlueJ, ask questions in real time and get their doubts solved during the session — it is not a library of pre-recorded videos.
Do you offer both group batch and one-to-one coaching, and how do the fees differ?+
Yes. The course is available as a small live group batch at ₹18,000 for the year and as fully personal one-to-one coaching at ₹22,000 for the year. The one-to-one mode offers flexible timings and completely individual attention, while the group batch keeps batches small so every student is still actively involved.
Who can join this course?+
It is designed for ICSE Class 10 students taking Computer Applications who want to strengthen Java fundamentals and score well in both the theory paper and the practical internal assessment. Students join from across India and abroad, since all classes are online and live.
Is the course aligned with the official CISCE / ICSE syllabus?+
Yes. The course follows the current CISCE syllabus unit by unit — revision of Class 9, class as the basis of computation, user-defined methods, constructors, library classes, encapsulation, arrays and string handling — and prepares students for the 100-mark theory exam and 100-mark internal assessment.
Will you help with the practical exam and internal assessment?+
Yes. Students get guidance on the lab assignments required during the year, plus structured practice in class design, coding, documentation and execution in BlueJ, along with viva and project preparation so they are confident before the external examiner.
Can we attend a demo or trial class before joining?+
Yes, you can request a demo class to experience the live teaching style first-hand. You can reach Kwickprep on +91 97255 25791 or through the enquiry form on this page to book a slot.
