The initiative aims to benefit nearly 1.63 lakh students from Delhi Government schools.
The MoU was signed in the presence of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Education Minister Ashish Sood. Speaking at the event, CM Gupta emphasised that the agreement reflected the government’s commitment to providing quality education and improving students’ future prospects. “With this, more students from Delhi Government schools will get the opportunity to enrol in good colleges and successfully clear entrance exams for medical and engineering programmes,” she said.
Sood said the programme would commence on April 1. Over the course of 30 days, students will receive 180 hours of coaching, with classes scheduled for six hours daily. The coaching will be conducted online, making it accessible to a large number of students.
The initiative is part of the government’s broader effort to bridge educational gaps and ensure that students from economically weaker sections have access to quality coaching for competitive exams.
