Tamil Nadu Assembly Passes Resolution Seeking Abolition of NEET for Medical Admissions
The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly unanimously passed a resolution urging the Union government to abolish the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) for undergraduate medical admissions, proposing admission based on Class 12 marks instead. The resolution cites repeated exam irregularities, mental distress among students, and disadvantages faced by rural, Tamil-medium, and socio-economically weaker students. While most parties supported the resolution, BJP members opposed it, with one staging a walkout. The Assembly also plans to oppose the FCRA Amendment Bill, highlighting ongoing political debates.
