Tamil Nadu Reaffirms Opposition to NEET in Meeting with Nilekani-Led Task Force
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay reiterated the state's opposition to the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) during a meeting with the Nandan Nilekani-led task force on examination reforms. The state government advocates using Class XII marks as the sole criterion for admissions to higher education, particularly medical courses. The Tamil Nadu assembly passed a unanimous resolution against NEET, supported by major regional parties, while the lone BJP member opposed it. The task force aims to recommend reforms to make exams leak-proof and technology-driven.
