New Delhi: The Delhi government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with BIG Institute and Physics Wallah Limited to provide free crash courses for students preparing for the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) and the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) after Class 12.
The initiative, a joint effort between the Delhi Directorate of Education and the two education platforms, is supported by NSDC International, a division of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship. Under this program, 1.63 lakh students from Delhi government schools will receive free online coaching to prepare for these competitive exams.
The agreement was formalized in the presence of Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Education Minister Ashish Sood. Speaking at the event, Sood announced that the coaching program will commence on April 1 and will run for 30 days, offering 180 hours of intensive preparation with six-hour daily classes.
“This pro bono initiative will equip our students with the necessary guidance to excel in these crucial exams, significantly enhancing their chances of securing admission into top medical colleges and central universities,” Sood said.
Chief Minister Gupta emphasized the importance of the initiative in helping government school students gain access to quality higher education. “With this program, more students from Delhi government schools will have the opportunity to enroll in reputed colleges and successfully clear entrance exams for medical and engineering programs,” she said.
According to an official statement, students will receive six hours of daily online coaching from April 2 to May 2, 2025, covering subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, General Aptitude, and English. The program will also include structured PDF notes, regular scheduled tests to track progress, and a dedicated doubt-resolution mechanism for continuous academic support.
The initiative is expected to be a ‘game-changer’ for students from marginalized communities, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder their academic aspirations. Officials noted that by providing high-quality coaching at no cost, the program aims to bridge the gap between underprivileged students and access to competitive exam preparation.
