Tamil Nadu Parties Demand NEET Abolition and Greater State Control Amid Protests
Tamil Nadu's ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) demands the complete abolition of the NEET medical entrance exam, calling for education to be shifted from the Concurrent List to the State List of the Constitution to grant states full control over medical education. The party criticizes the opposition DMK for making unfulfilled promises to scrap NEET. Meanwhile, DMK leaders, including MK Stalin, also call for NEET's abolition, citing irregularities and inequities. Student protests over NEET irregularities continue in Delhi, with political parties supporting calls for reform or abolition.
