Computer Science — Class 10

CBSE (Indian Curriculum) · Ages 15-16

CBSE Information Technology (Code 402) continues in Class 10 as a skill subject examined by the board, combining a written paper with a substantial practical and project component.

Content covers digital documentation with advanced word processing, electronic spreadsheets with analysis functions, database management with SQL-style queries, and web applications and security, alongside the employability skills strand.

Because half the assessment is practical, consistent hands-on work through the year matters far more than end-loaded revision.

Key topics covered

• Digital Documentation — Styles, templates, mail merge, tracked changes and long documents.
• Electronic Spreadsheets — Advanced formulas, functions, charts, pivot analysis and validation.
• Database Management — Tables, relationships, keys, forms, reports and queries.
• Web Applications — Accessibility, web basics and working with online tools.
• Security & Safe Practice — Data protection, backups, malware and safe computing habits.
• Practical & Project — The hands-on assessment and project that carry half the marks.
