Due to the quality education provided in Delhi government schools, 1,074 students have cleared National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (Undergraduate), Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Kejriwal took to Twitter to share his appreciation for the students, their parents, and teachers, noting that such an achievement would have been unimaginable a few years ago.

“Wow. More than 1000 students from Delhi govt schools qualify NEET. This could not even be imagined just a few years back. Congrats to all students, parents and teachers,” Kejriwal tweeted.
