According to the Education Minister, the Delhi government wants that every poor and needy child should get a chance to study in a good private school. He said that this time the admission process has been made clearer and easier than before. Now the application has been verified through Aadhaar card based technology. Due to this, there is a ban on making multiple applications in the name of the same child or giving wrong information. The government says that this will benefit the real needy children.
Seats increased in schools

Keep these things in mind
The Education Department has made it clear that once the draw is out and the result is frozen, there will be no change in it. The children who have been selected are immediately allotted schools. Scrutiny of documents will start in the next three days. This time many documents will be verified on mobile only, so that parents do not have to make repeated visits to schools and offices.
So many seats are reserved for the poor
Let us tell you that this system has been running in Delhi for many years.

Under this rule, schools are allotted to children every year through a draw. This time the government claims that the entire process has been more transparent and easier than before.
