Under Delhi Free Coaching Scheme, state government provides free of cost coaching for the preparation of civil services, law, engineering, banking and other competitive entrance examinations.

Jai Bhim Mukhyamantri Pratibha Vikas Yojana Latest Update

Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s resolve to uplift the poorest of poor students gets strength. Under the Jai Bhim Mukhyamantri Pratibha Vikas Yojana (scheme), meritorious students belonging to SC/ST/OBC and EWS categories receive free coaching from private institutes for competitive exams. Delhi government has resumed online and offline coaching classes for students enrolled under its Jai Bhim Mukhyamantri Pratibha Vikas Yojana (JBMPVY).

Jai Bhim Mukhyamantri Pratibha Vikas scheme was suspended last year in the light of the Covid-19 pandemic. Earlier this year, the government issued public notices announcing that it has resumed.

Maintaining Quality of Education in Coaching Classes

CM said “In online coaching classes, quality of education should be maintained and it should be ensured that children are participating in the sessions. Under the scheme there is also a provision that apart from empanelled institutions, candidates can also take admission in big coaching institutes.” Under the scheme, children from SC/ST/OBC and economically weaker (EWS) category receive private coaching for JEE, NEET and civil services.

If a kid from a family earning less than Rs. 8 lakh per annum is talented, they will no longer have to face the hurdles of poverty, the Kejriwal government will provide them free coaching.
