Before AAP government
Only 50% Delhi students (1.25 lakh of total 2.5 lakh) clearing Class 12 could get admission to colleges and universities within the national capital[1][2]
-- Higher Education budget grew to 400% by Delhi AAP Govt
-- 5 new Universities have been started in Delhi by AAP Government
-- Many existing Universities/Colleges expanded
“Even those scoring 97 per cent marks did not get admission. This is not acceptable. Our government is working to eliminate this shortage,” - Best Education Minister Manish Sisodia
Delhi government gives a lot of importance to education as they believe that no country can develop till the citizens are prepared. - CM Arvind Kejriwal [1:1]
Being the national capital, Delhi should have more intake capacity in higher education as students from outside the city also come here. - Manish Sisodia [3]
