What is PYTHON in CBSE?
Under the new system, PYTHON, a high-level programming language, earlier replaced by C ++, a programming language for beginners.
Earlier, CBSE had published a modified curriculum for computer science and introduced Python in class XI for session 2013-14 instead of C++.
However, Board has now allowed the students to choose either C++ or Python language in computer science subject for class XI in session 2013-14.
Units to be covered under each option
With C++ as a language option
Unit I Computer Fundamentals
Unit II Introduction to C++
Unit III Programming Methodology
Unit IV Programming in C++
With Python as a language option
Unit I Computer Fundamentals
Unit II Programming Methodology
Unit III Introduction to Python
Unit IV Programming in Python
But as per the feedback received from the teaching fraternity the Board has allowed students to either choose C++ or Python language in computer science subject for class XI in session 2013-14.
This change is not applicable for current batch of class XII writing the exam in session 2013-14. Grade XII batch of session 2014-15 will write the exam based on the language selected in class XI. If they have selected C++ in grade XI they will continue to study the same in grade XII.
If the school has switched over to python in grade XI the child will continue to study python in grade XII as well.
