The course is an 18 hour subject which is part of the design stream for class XII, in which 12 hours would be taught at school and 6 hours would be taken at home. The 12 hours at school would be divided into 6 sessions of 2 hours each. The subject would be taught to class XII CBSE students with an average class size of around 30 students.
