Puducherry Govt Planning to Relax Eligibility Criteria for Medical Admission under 10 percent Quota for Govt School Students

The Daily has reported that the UT Government is also planning providing reservation to government school students in admission to engineering, nursing and other higher education courses.

CM Rangasamy added that the government is committed to provide quality education in government schools. There was no second opinion regarding the quality of teachers at the government schools because they get recruited based on merit. However, he added that many parents still prefer to admit their children to private schools.

"We want to change the situation. The decision to provide 10% reservation was aimed to attract children to government schools. The government is also taking steps to improve infrastructure in schools. Also, special attention was given to provide clean environment in schools," he added.

Mr. Rangasamy also referred to the steps taken by the Government to enhance the competency of teachers by providing them training to upgrade their skills and subject knowledge and added that the teachers should also adapt to the changing requirements. 

He also mentioned that the government's objective was providing quality education and job opportunities for those passing out from the higher educational institutes in Puducherry.
