In order to address the teaching gap between school education and engineering entrance as also to enrich the teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics at School level, the CBSE is running a project to provide free online resources to girl students of Class XI and Class XII for preparation of admission test for the premier engineering colleges in the country.
The special focus of project Udaan is to address the low enrollment ratio of girl students in these prestigious institutions and to enable girl students to receive special incentives and support so that they can join these institutions and go on to take leadership roles in the future.
UDAAN is an initiative of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to enable disadvantaged girl students and other students from SC/ST & minorities to transit from school to post-school professional education especially in Science and Math. An aim of Udaan is to address lower enrolment of girls in engineering colleges which is currently about 23% girls as against 77% of boys.
The CBSE will provide free and online resources to the entire student population with special incentives and support to a thousand selected disadvantaged girls per year. The programme involves mentoring for selected 1000 girl students to compete for admission at premier engineering colleges.
The programme is a free of cost comprehensive course in an online and offline format. All girl students studying in classes XI and XII in any Board in India can apply based on following eligibility criteria. The selection of students will be based on merit.
Minimum 70% marks in Class X overall and 80% marks in Science and Mathematics; for Boards which follow CGPA, a minimum CGPA of 8 and a GPA of 9 in Science and Mathematics. For Class XII students, the eligibility is a a minimum of 75% marks in PCM in Class XI in addition to the Class X requirements.
