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

Students from around Bengaluru
A student anywhere in Bengaluru can take IGCSE Grade 9 Computer Science (CS) with us — Academy, City, Indiranagar or Inventure included — because the class is online and there is no centre to travel to. Bengaluru sits in Karnataka, where the Karnataka Board / PUC (KSEEB) runs alongside the national boards, so we are asked about both.
How Bengaluru 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 Bengaluru asks questions in the moment, exactly as they would in a classroom. Recordings are provided for revision only.

Shubhranshu enjoyed the classes with Kajal Mam as she taught really well. She kept him engaged even in online classes. He joined the classes just few months before exams and still managed to score well as Kajal Mam taught him strategically and continuously. Hats off to her hard work and perseverance.
