Indore: To boost enrolment of girls in engineering colleges Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)
has decided to assist girl students in preparation for entrance
examinations of premier engineering colleges through its project-Udaan.
The CBSE will set up four centres across Madhya Pradesh for the project. Indore, Bhopal, Jabalpur and Tikamgarh will be the four centers. Indore's Vidyasagar School, Bhopal's Girls School, Gyan Ganga International School in Jabalpur and Jawahar Navodaya Vidhyalaya in Tikamgarh have been selected by the board as Udaan centres in the state.
Girl students enrolled in Class XI in physics, chemistry and mathematics stream with a minimum of 70% marks in Class X overall and 80% marks in science and mathematics with a minimum CGPA of eight and a GPA of nine can enroll for the project.
The selected students will have access to an online portal, which will be organised on the basis of Class XI and XII syllabus with three subject streams - physics, chemistry and mathematics.
This portal will have content in the form of videos, tutorials and text. Concepts will be organised based on the learning taking place in the classroom as per the syllabus of Class XI and XII
Meanwhile it is not just CBSE students, who stand to benefit. Selected girl students in class XI and XII from other boards will also be provided free assistance to prepare for the IIT-JEE.
In a novel initiative, if selected students score well in weekly tests conducted by the CBSE, then the points accrued will be redeemed as fees in an IIT or NIT. "Udaan project provides a platform to empower girl students to join prestigious educational institutions like IITs and NITs," said CBSE helpline counsellor from the state Jaydeb Kar.
Under the project, CBSE will assist students by providing them free online and offline support. Selected girls will be provided with tablets that have preloaded content, besides regular tutorials, study materials and assessments.
