In 2015, training clergyman Manish Sisodia had said the administration would chip away at making its very own leading group on the lines of the CBSE with its own particular syllabus, remembering the request of Delhi. Be that as it may, no course of events was given for the rollout of the proposition.Tuition based schools in the capital had performed superior to anything government-run and helped schools in the CBSE Class 10 exam a year ago.
