Free coaching to be provided to Delhi govt school students for NEET & JEE entrance exams- Education News
Free-of-cost coaching will be given to the students of Delhi government school for the Joint Entrance Examination, JEE Mains and National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) or NEET.
As per reports, the Directorate of Education (DoE) has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ‘Avanti Fellows’ to prepare students who are willing to make their career in the field of engineering, medical and other technical fields. ”In the first year of the programme, 6,000 children of classes 11-12 selected from Delhi government schools will be provided free coaching for the preparation of various entrance examinations, through test series, necessary academic support for these examinations and regular mentoring during preparation,” Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said, adding that ”Earlier, this free coaching program was introduced in a few schools, on a pilot basis, and the results were excellent. More than 160 girls from SC and ST categories are getting free coaching for NEET by experts, under this programme.”
Furthermore, Manish Sisodia said a large number of students dream of getting admission to the best medical or engineering institutions to become doctors and engineers. ”But their parents are not able to afford expensive coaching. Now this picture is set to change in Delhi. With this step of the government, thousands of future doctors-engineers, scientists, STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) experts, among others, will now be prepared in the government schools of Delhi, who will make India proud globally,” he said.
