SaralnamaWhat happened in Delhi? 70% of NIOS Class 10 students failed in the last 4 years. The Delhi Directorate of Education revealed this in response to an RTI query. The 'NIOS Project' aims to help weak students and reduce dropouts. In 2024, only 37% of 7,794 registered students passed. From 2021 to 2024, just 30% cleared the exam. Reasons include lack of coordination, poor school environment for weak students, and principals enrolling weak students in NIOS to improve school results. Critics say the project offers substandard curriculum and limits future options for students. The NIOS Project Deputy Director was unavailable for comment.
