CBSE Class 12 Computer Science - Course Contents

The course content of class 12 Computer Science is well structured, updated and dynamic in nature. It works as the foundation for future-ready software professionals. CBSE for session 2024-25 has recently updated course content for the Computer Science subject. Now it includes Python in both class 11 and class 12. Even SQL commands and web applications are linked with Python. 

The class 12 Python syllabus has all the basic topics that a school student must undergo. If you are planning to opt for computer science as your career, this is the best course for you. CBSE will conduct 70 marks theory exam and you will get 30 marks from school based on your performance in practical exams. 

Python Revision Tour - Class 12 Computer Science

In this section, students will get a revision of Python topics covered in Class XI.
