Manish Sisodia congratulated admitted students and their parents and said: “Marks shouldn’t be the only criteria for a student’s success. In this uncertain world, a student’s ability to think new and creative is what will set him or her apart from others. Covid has shown us that the future world is going to be very uncertain. Hence our students should be prepared to solve the challenges, which haven’t even arisen yet.”

The Delhi Government started admissions for 20 SoSEs affiliated to Delhi Board of School Education (DBSE) in partnership with International Baccalaureate (IB) for the 2021-22 session on August 12.
