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

Students from around Patna
A student anywhere in Patna can take IGCSE Grade 10 Computer Science (CS) with us — BSEB, Bailey, Bihar or Boring included — because the class is online and there is no centre to travel to. Patna sits in Bihar, where the Bihar Board (BSEB) runs alongside the national boards, so we are asked about both.
How Patna 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 Patna asks questions in the moment, exactly as they would in a classroom. Recordings are provided for revision only.

I joined the CS40+ course in January 2023, and it was completed within the mentioned time. I found the course very effective and well-organized. The teaching method and study material are up to the mark. I learned new things, and rather than mugging up the code, I learned to develop logic.

I had a really good learning experience with Kwickprep. The course was well-planned and taught in a very professional manner. The teaching style was engaging, and the study materials, especially for Python programming, were very helpful in understanding the subject better. All the concepts were explained clearly, and the teaching methods were easy to follow. I always received timely responses whenever I had a doubt, which made the learning process smooth and stress-free. I'm quite satisfied with the time I invested in this course. Overall, it was a valuable experience and helped strengthen my grasp on IP. Thank you, Kwickprep!
