IGCSE Grade 10 Computer Science (CS) Classes in Mysuru

Is this course right for a Mysuru student?

Most Mysuru 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 Mysuru student in one of those schools.

Students from around Mysuru

A student anywhere in Mysuru can take IGCSE Grade 10 Computer Science (CS) with us — Gokulam, Jayalakshmipuram, KSEEB or Karnataka included — because the class is online and there is no centre to travel to. Mysuru sits in Karnataka, where the Karnataka Board / PUC (KSEEB) runs alongside the national boards, so we are asked about both.

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