Delhi BJP will adopt a policy of admission for all if voted to power to ensure that students passing out from schools of national capital get admission in Delhi University colleges so that they don't have to go out for higher studies, a senior party leader said today.
Delhi BJP Chief Vijay Goel also accused Dikshit for "overlooking" this crucial aspect for last 15 years.
While addressing a meeting of principals of private unaided schools, he assured the representatives from unaided schools that "holistic reforms in state of higher education" was on top of BJP's agenda and the party has already taken up the issue with the authorities concerned.
"When we will come to power in Delhi, our target would be to ensure 'admission for all' Delhi students in regular colleges," he said.
Goel had also demanded that colleges should give a relaxation of 2 to 5 per cent in cut off marks for the students passing out from a Delhi school.
The principals of private unaided schools also supported the party's demand to provide relaxation in cut off marks in Delhi University for students passing out class XII examinations from schools of the national capital.
"Unfortunately, the Congress government has overlooked this crucial aspect over the last 15 years and the biggest evidence of this neglect was that the Delhi government has not opened a new college in the DU over the last 15 years," he said.
