PMK Calls for NEET Review After Low First-Attempt Pass Rates Under Tamil Nadu Quota
PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss has called for an urgent review and abolition of the NEET exam, citing official data showing only 5% of government school students admitted under Tamil Nadu's 7.5% reservation cleared the exam on their first attempt. He highlighted that over 95% of these students required multiple attempts to secure admission, questioning NEET's effectiveness in achieving its goals. Similar patterns were noted among other admission categories, raising concerns about the exam's impact on equitable medical education access.
