Focus on Gender Equality in Education

Sood further explained that under this scheme, the Delhi government plans to reserve 50 seats specifically for girls in the total seats available for JEE, NEET, CLAT, and CA foundation courses. Additionally, to promote gender equality, 150 out of 1,000 seats in CUET-UG have already been reserved for girls.
