Unchecked growth of 'dummy schools' adversely affecting Delhi students: HC

New Delhi, Sep 28 (PTI) Unchecked growth of 'dummy schools' is adversely affecting students who genuinely fulfil the 'local education' criterion and allows ineligible candidates to secure seats under the Delhi state quota, the Delhi High Court has said.

The high court issued notice and sought the response of the Delhi government, Central Board of Secondary Education, Directorate General of Health Services, Delhi University (DU) and Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) on a petition against proliferation of dummy schools.

It listed the matter for further hearing on November 29.
