ISC Class 11 Computer Science (with Java) (CS) Classes in Chennai

Is this course right for a Chennai student?

Most Chennai schools follow the Tamil Nadu State Board (TN SB), with CBSE, ICSE/ISC and Cambridge schools alongside. We teach the CBSE, ICSE/ISC, Cambridge IGCSE, GSEB and NIOS computer subjects, not the TN SB computer paper itself, so this course suits a Chennai student in one of those schools.

Students from around Chennai

A student anywhere in Chennai can take ISC Class 11 Computer Science (with Java) (CS) with us — Adyar, Anna, Chinmaya or Nadar included — because the class is online and there is no centre to travel to. Chennai sits in Tamil Nadu, where the Tamil Nadu State Board (TN SB) runs alongside the national boards, so we are asked about both.

How Chennai 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 Chennai asks questions in the moment, exactly as they would in a classroom. Recordings are provided for revision only.
