ANNOUNCEMENT
C/D: In the modern world the knowledge of computer science and its applications is essential. At the school we realize its importance and start computer classes for our boys early to make them ready for future challenges. The aim of introducing the subject is to make boys use it as a tool to enhance their knowledge and creativity, to communicate efficiently in a world that is becoming increasingly smaller and to learn to use design applications.
This subject is extremely popular among D and C formers as they find freedom to create and control. Lessons are taken in the computer laboratories and boys get to practice what they study in their classes. The syllabus has been reviewed with greater emphasis on net etiquette and cyber regulation studies.
B/A: The ICSE curriculum is available to view at www.cisce.org
S/SC: The ISC curriculum is available to view at www.cisce.org
S/SC: The IB curriculum is available to view at www.ibo.org
Potential careers with the subject:
This subject helps boys to make a career in Automobile Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Animation Graphic designing, Armed Forces, Computer Engineering, Information technologist, Multimedia, Programmer, System Analyst, Software Engineering, and Telecommunication etc.
Specific publications and activities related to this subject:
The boys are highly interested in activities like website making, flash movies, power point slides, basic animations, etc. which are organized by the subject teachers. The boys participate in various competitions in the city and in Cyber Olympiad as well. The science magazine Echo publishes articles on latest inventions in the field of computers and gadgets.
This forms part of the IT Society, and is divided into Juniors’ and Seniors’ sections. Boys who are part of this activity come during the allotted time and learn how to use various software packages and learn about different programming languages. It is not just a Spare Time Activity; the programming skills imparted to the boys will act as a foundation if they ever think of pursuing a career in Software Engineering.

The aim of introducing the subject is to make students use it as a tool to enhance their knowledge and creativity, to communicate for better understanding in an increasing smaller world and design applications.
Skills Required to Learn
The students become complete end users of computer systems. They hone their designing, programming and problem-solving skills, learn to code and learn to use computers effectively.
General Comments
This subject is extremely popular among D and C formers as they find freedom to create and control. Each lesson is taken in the computer laboratories and students relate what they study in their classes. The syllabus has been reviewed with greater emphasis on learning through Web 2.0 technologies and visual environments like scratch and Code.Org. The students are highly interested in the activities which are organized by the subject teachers like web designing, flash movies, power point slides, basic animations, Scratch etc. The students participate in various competitions in the city and in Cyber Olympiads as well. There are no term end examinations in the subject but it is mandatory for the students to make projects in the classes using the skills learnt. Although the subject has applications in almost all fields, it especially helps students to make a career in Automobile Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Animation & Graphic designing, Armed Forces, Computer Engineering, Information technologist, Multimedia, Programmer, System Analyst, Software Engineering, and Telecommunication etc.

General Comments
Computer Applications is quite a popular subject among students as they find it very interesting to program in a high-level language, i.e. JAVA. The ICSE results of our students in this subject have been consistently among the best in the country. Each lesson is taken in the computer laboratories and students relate what they study in their classes. There are three classes every week. Many of the students who opt for Computer Applications continue with the subject in their S and SC Forms. The subject is especially recommended for students who want to pursue Engineering and Sciences. However, it will be very useful for all as it will give them a strong foundation in computer applications, which is now an indispensable requirement in all fields.

S Form
- Basics of computer hardware and software
- Introduction to algorithmic problem-solving using Java
- Elementary data structures and associated algorithms, basic input/output
- Implementation of algorithms to solve problems
- Social context of computing and ethical issues
SC Form
- Revision of programming done in S form
- Boolean Algebra
- Computer hardware
- Arrays, Strings
- Inheritance, polymorphism, data structures, computational complexity
- Complexity and big O notation
Learning Objectives
- To understand algorithmic problem-solving using data abstractions, functional and procedural abstractions, and object-based and object-oriented abstractions
- To understand:
- how computers represent, store and process data by studying the architecture and machine language of a simple microprocessor and the different levels of abstraction that mediate between the machine and the algorithmic problem-solving level and
- how they communicate with the outside world.
- To create awareness of ethical problems and issues related to computing.
Skills Acquired by Students
- Logical, mathematical and analytical skills
- Computational and algorithmic thinking
- Programming and problem-solving skills using a high level language (JAVA)
General Comments
The subject is quite popular among the students who wish to pursue Science and Engineering at a higher level. In the recent past we have seen many students who want to make a career in multimedia, designing, and architecture also opting for this subject. Each lesson is taken in the computer laboratories and students relate what they study in their classes. There are seven classes every week. Although prior knowledge of programming is not essential, the students who had opted for Computer Applications in their B and A forms have an advantage as their fundamentals are already strong. Students new to programming become at par with these students with a little effort and hard work. The ISC results of our students in the subject have been consistently among the best in the country.
