New Delhi: Delhi Government has announced its plans to provide free preparatory coaching for coveted exams like NEET, JEE Main exams to the government school students.

The students from Delhi government schools aiming to crack the competitive JEE Main and NEET entrance exams can avail the free coaching services offered by the Delhi government. 

According to the reports, the Delhi Directorate of Education has inked a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU with ‘Avanti Fellows’ to train the medical and engineering aspirants for the entrance examinations. 

As per the scheme, a total of 6000 government school students from class 12 and class 11 will be selected in the first-year of the programme, who will be provided with free coaching along with the essential test series, academic assistance, and regular mentoring during the preparatory period. 

Manish Sisodia, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and Education Minister said that the free coaching programme was previously introduced in a few schools on a pilot basis and the results were exceptional. 

Over 160 girls from SC/ ST categories received free coaching for NEET exams from subject experts under the preparation programme, Sisodia said. 

The initiative of providing free coaching to NEET and JEE aspirants will be extremely advantageous to the students from economically weaker sections who are interested in cracking the entrance examinations but cannot get appropriate coaching services due to high fee requirements. 

Education Minister Sisodia said that most of the students dream of pursuing higher education from the renowned medical or engineering institutions to become the best doctors and engineers but are not able to attend the coaching due to its expensive fee structure. 

Thus, Sisodia assured that this conception will change with the programmes of the government making sure that future doctors, engineers, scientists, STEM experts among others will now be prepared from Government Schools in Delhi.

Currently, over 30,000 students are enrolled in the Science specializations in Delhi government schools. The free preparatory coaching services will assist the students and enable them to get admission to different undergraduate medical and engineering courses offered by the top colleges across the country.
