Tamil Nadu Assembly Passes Resolution Urging 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. The resolution criticizes NEET for disadvantaging rural, socio-economically weaker, and Tamil-medium students, citing issues like coaching center proliferation, exam irregularities, and student distress. The Assembly proposes admissions based on Class 12 marks and calls for amendments to central laws. Most parties supported the resolution, while the BJP MLA opposed it and staged a walkout.
