Papers for Classes 9 and 11, however, will be in English, carry 400 marks each, and apply negative marking.
CM Shri Schools, launched as a flagship initiative of the Delhi government, are designed to provide infrastructure, updated curricula and holistic learning opportunities. The programme was inaugurated on February 17 by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, who opened a new CM Shri School in Sarojini Nagar as part of the rollout across 75 government institutions.
Meanwhile, the Delhi government has revamped its education department website and has added a new ‘fee review’ section along with features such as daily attendance tracking, mock tests and question banks to improve transparency and student support.
According to the website, the this tab allows parents to raise complaints related to school fees, track updates and directly email the chairman of the Fee Review Committee. The committee comprises Justice Anil Dev Singh, former Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court, as chairman, chartered accountant JS Kochar, and former additional director of education RK Sharma as members, it showed.
