Tamil Nadu Group Urges Centre to Abolish NTA and Centralised UG Entrance Exams
The State Platform for Common School System-Tamil Nadu (SPCSS-TN) has urged the Centre's High-Powered Task Force to abolish the National Testing Agency (NTA) and all centralised undergraduate entrance exams. The organisation argues admissions should rely on students' board exam marks and suggests adopting Tamil Nadu's normalisation method for all-India quota seats. It criticises the NTA's competence and raises concerns about centralised testing undermining federal principles and access. The opposition to centralised tests like NEET predates recent controversies, tracing back to early 2010s proposals for a national medical entrance exam.
