Coding Classes for CBSE Students
CBSE has steadily expanded coding and AI in its curriculum, from skill modules in the middle classes to Python-based Computer Science in Classes 11 and 12. Here's how coding fits in at each stage, and what to add alongside school.
Stage by stage
Coding in the CBSE curriculum
| Stage | Typically at school | What to add |
|---|---|---|
| Classes 3–5 | Computer basics and applications | Scratch and coding basics |
| Classes 6–8 | Skill modules, including coding- and AI-related options (varies by school) | Python fundamentals and projects |
| Classes 9–10 | Artificial Intelligence (417) or Information Technology (402) as skill subjects | Hands-on AI and web projects |
| Classes 11–12 | Computer Science (083) and Informatics Practices (065), both using Python; AI (843) as an elective | Advanced Python and portfolio projects |
Subjects and codes change over time and schools implement them differently, so check current board circulars. CodingChamp is independent and not affiliated with any board.
Common gaps parents notice
- Limited practice time within the school timetable
- Concepts taught more than projects built
- Students often begin Python only in Class 11
