Class 12 students are often told to pause everything for boards. Result: zero portfolio, average marks. A calm, consistent 1 to 2 hours a week of real coding delivers better outcomes on both fronts. 01 / Board protection ### CBSE/ICSE CS done on time We align sessions to the school's syllabus calendar. Chapters covered a week ahead. Sample papers November, practical December, written prep January. 02 / College signal ### One serious portfolio piece Admissions officers remember the one serious project. We finish one clean deployed piece with a writeup — not ten half-finished demos. 03 / DSA head start ### First-year college advantage A Class 12 student with 100 DSA problems solved walks into first-year engineering already senior. Projects, not lectures ## Six projects that make a Class 12 portfolio real. Just enough. Each one lands at a specific point on the Class 12 calendar.

The difference is whether your child learns best with one teacher's full attention, or alongside 4 to 6 classmates at their level. Option A ### Live 1-on-1 Online Class One teacher, one learner, the full 1 hour. The teacher adapts pace in real time — slowing down on tricky concepts, speeding up where your child is already fluent. Best for focused learners, specific exam prep, or fastest progress. - 1 teacher, 1 student, 1 hour per session - Pace fully adjusted to your child - Focused help on school projects and exams - Flexible timing — you pick the slots - Every class recorded and shared with parents **₹2,499**/ month · 8 sessionsOption B ### Live Small-Group Online Class 4 to 6 students at a similar level, one teacher, 1 hour per session. Learners move faster when they see peers solve problems in different ways. Supportive, never pressured. Best if your child enjoys learning with others. - Small groups of 4 to 6 similar-level learners - 1 hour live session, 2 sessions per week - Peer project reviews — students present to each other - Fixed schedule, same classmates each week - Class recording and parent progress report **₹1,499**/ month · 8 sessionsLevel comparison ## Class 11 vs 12 vs college.
