Tamil Nadu Leaders Demand NEET Abolition Amid Student Protests and Political Reactions
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay and DMK leader M.K. Stalin have strongly opposed the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET), calling for its abolition amid ongoing student protests over alleged paper leaks. They argue NEET disadvantages rural and underprivileged students and advocate shifting education control back to states. Former BJP leader K Annamalai supports NEET but criticizes the Centre's delayed response to protests. BJP leaders urge peaceful dialogue and accountability. The controversy highlights tensions between state autonomy and national education standards.
