The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly has unanimously approved a resolution opposing the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) and advocating for admission to medical courses based on Class 12 Board exam scores. Health Minister Arun Raj, along with MLAs from TVK, DMK, and AIADMK political parties, arrived at the Secretariat to address the issue.
The resolution cited repeated irregularities in NEET's implementation, urging the Government of India to amend the National Medical Commission Act, 2019 and relevant Central enactments to abolish NEET at the national level. The Tamil Nadu government has consistently argued that NEET contradicts social justice, equality, and the rights of states in medical education.
It further highlighted the adverse effects of NEET, including the proliferation of high-cost coaching centers, diversion of students' focus from school education to NEET-oriented coaching, and the single-day test format's impact on rural and underprivileged students.
