According to official data, a total of 2.5 lakh applications have been received, and the draw of lots will be conducted for the admission of 38,000 students. “The income eligibility limit for admission under the EWS category has been increased to Rs 5 lakh,” he added.
Draw of lots to be broadcast on television
To ensure transparency in the Delhi EWS Admission 2025, the education minister stated that the computerized draw of lots will be broadcast on television, following a standard SOP prepared for the process.
Earlier, the EWS students faced difficulties in securing admission and to address this issue, selected students will now receive a slip after document verification, which no school will be allowed to deny, he said, reported PTI. Sood reiterated that the Delhi government is committed to transparency and efficiency across all sectors, and the results of these efforts will be evident soon.
