- The first batch's application procedure has already begun.
- Interested applicants should apply online at www.dmvs.ac.in.
- Anyone between 13 and 18 who has completed at least class 8 at a certified school may apply to class 9 at this virtual school.
- As per news18, When asked about the targeted youngsters, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal stated, “This school is being launched with an aim to offer education to children who beg on roads, kids from far off villages who do not have a proper school, girls from socially underprivileged backgrounds who are not allowed to take admission to a school outside their neighborhood. Kids who cannot go to school will have the opportunity to access education from home in virtual mode."
- According to Kejriwal, the virtual school would feature teachers who have been properly educated to instruct in virtual modes.
- The virtual school will also include a schooling platform developed in collaboration with Google and Schoolnet India, which will consist of live video, recorded video, a digital library, and access modules.
- As stated on the official website, students may participate in courses and educational material at their speed, and all live classes will be stored for later use. Students can apply what they have learned in the classroom in small clusters under the supervision of the topic professors. They also receive one-on-one academic tutoring on demand.
- In addition, DMVS allows students to complete exams based on concepts rather than a specific course curriculum. According to the official website, students may learn a subject and then take online tests when they are ready.
- However, the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS), which the Centre operates, refuted Kejriwal's assertion that his administration opened the country's first virtual school on Wednesday.
- The NIOS, which operates as an independent institution under the Ministry of Education, stated that it had started India's first virtual school in August 2021.
