This has been the result of the constant hard work of the teachers & students of Delhi govt schools. We thank Career Launcher & welcome them in building upon this success. Preparing for competitive examinations is the intended objective, but this exercise will also be intended towards developing a scientific outlook, through exposure to higher applications of science in daily life. I really hope the students make the most of it." said the Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
Students will get 130 hours of training, spanning all the four key subjects - physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics.
