ICSE Class 10 Computer Applications Classes in Kolkata

Is this course right for a Kolkata student?

Most Kolkata schools follow the West Bengal Board (WBBSE/WBCHSE), with CBSE, ICSE/ISC and Cambridge schools alongside. We teach the CBSE, ICSE/ISC, Cambridge IGCSE, GSEB and NIOS computer subjects, not the WBBSE/WBCHSE computer paper itself, so this course suits a Kolkata student in one of those schools.

What ICSE Class 10 Computer Applications covers

The course follows the full syllabus, 8 units.

• Revision of Class IX Syllabus
  Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming concepts; Elementary concept of objects and classes; Values and data types (primitive and non-primitive); Operators in Java and expressions
• Class as the Basis of All Computation
  Objects as instances of a class encapsulating state and behaviour; Member variables (attributes) and member methods; Class as a composite type and an object factory; Primitive vs composite data types
• User-Defined Methods
  Need for and syntax of methods; Method definition, declaration and method calling; Method prototype, parameters and arguments; Call by value and call by reference (actual vs formal parameters)
• Constructors
  Definition and characteristics of a constructor; Default constructor; Parameterised constructor; Constructor overloading
• Library Classes
  Wrapper classes for primitive data types; Autoboxing and unboxing; Methods to convert numeric and character data (parseInt, parseDouble, etc.); Character checking methods (isDigit, isLetter, isWhitespace, etc.)
• Encapsulation
  Concept of encapsulation and data hiding; Access specifiers: private, protected, public; Scope of variables: class, instance, local and argument; Visibility rules
• Arrays
  Single-dimensional arrays: declaration, initialisation, accessing elements; Double-dimensional arrays and matrix operations (row, column, diagonal sums); Sorting techniques: selection sort and bubble sort; Searching techniques: linear search and binary search

Students from around Kolkata

A student anywhere in Kolkata can take ICSE Class 10 Computer Applications with us — Ballygunge, Bengal, Lake or Martiniere included — because the class is online and there is no centre to travel to. Kolkata sits in West Bengal, where the West Bengal Board (WBBSE/WBCHSE) runs alongside the national boards, so we are asked about both.

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