Is this course right for a Agra student?
Most Agra schools follow the UP Board (UPMSP), with CBSE, ICSE/ISC and Cambridge schools alongside. We teach the CBSE, ICSE/ISC, Cambridge IGCSE, GSEB and NIOS computer subjects, not the UPMSP computer paper itself, so this course suits a Agra student in one of those schools.

Students from around Agra
A student anywhere in Agra can take IGCSE Grade 9 Computer Science (CS) with us — Cantonment, Civil, Dayalbagh or Kamla included — because the class is online and there is no centre to travel to. Agra sits in Uttar Pradesh, where the UP Board (UPMSP) runs alongside the national boards, so we are asked about both.
How Agra students attend
Every class is live at Indian Standard Time, in a small batch or one-to-one. Nothing is pre-recorded, so a student in Agra asks questions in the moment, exactly as they would in a classroom. Recordings are provided for revision only.
