Delhi Government Teams Up with Physics Wallah for Free CUET & NEET Crash Courses

In a major boost for competitive exam aspirants, the Delhi government has signed an MoU with edtech giant Physics Wallah (PW) to provide free crash courses for CUET (Common University Entrance Test) and NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test). This initiative aims to level the playing field for underprivileged students in India’s capital.

Key Details of the Initiative

The Delhi government inked an MoU with edtech heavyweight Physics Wallah on March 26, 2025, to roll out free crash courses for CUET and NEET. It’s a game-changer for students from government schools, especially those strapped for cash, aiming to crack these big exams.

Who Benefits?

• Target Group: 1.63 lakh Class 12 grads from Delhi’s government schools.
• Focus: Kids from low-income families who can’t swing private coaching costs.

Course Features

• Free live and recorded classes from PW’s top teachers.
• Study guides and practice tests in Hindi and English.
• Doubt-clearing through the PW app.
• Mock exams with national rank breakdowns.

Important Dates

• Registration Opens: April 1, 2025—mark your calendars.
• Classes Start: Mid-April 2025, exact date TBD.
• Duration: One-month sprint to crunch time—CUET’s May 8-June 1, NEET’s May 4.

Why This Matters

For Students

• Saves families ₹15,000-₹40,000—no small chunk for most.
• Levels the field with pro-level prep, not just YouTube scraps.
• Ties CBSE basics to the tricky stuff CUET and NEET throw at you.

For Education System

• Delhi’s the first state to buddy up with a billion-dollar edtech outfit.
• Could spark more government-tech tie-ups nationwide.
• Might dent the coaching center stranglehold—big if it sticks.

How to Enroll?

• Hit up delhi.gov.in/education or the PW app starting April 1.
• Drop your Delhi ID and Class 12 marks—no fancy hoops.
• Get slotted into a batch, and you’re off.

Student Reactions

• “I was stressing over coaching fees—now I’ve got a shot,” says Vikram, 17, from Trilokpuri, gunning for NEET.
• “This beats begging relatives for cash,” adds Neha, 18, a CUET hopeful from Bawana.

Bigger Picture: India’s EdTech Surge

This move’s got legs:

• Ties into the government’s digital education push since NEP 2020.
• Physics Wallah’s flexing its $1.1 billion muscle beyond free videos.
• Hindi-English mix taps into how kids actually learn here—eight languages total on PW’s roster.

Challenges Ahead

• Internet Gaps: Not every kid’s got Wi-Fi or a decent phone—rural pockets especially.
• Scale Strain: Keeping 1.63 lakh students on track’s no joke—quality can’t dip.
• Profit Creep: Free now, but PW’s a business—will it stay that way?
