Tamil Nadu Assembly passed a resolution urging the Centre to abolish NEET for medical admissions, citing social justice, rural students and coaching costs. The DMK, AIADMK and other opposition parties backed the move, while the lone BJP MLA opposed it.
The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly on Tuesday adopted a resolution calling for the abolition of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) and recommending that admission to undergraduate medical courses be based on Class 12 marks. The resolution was introduced by Health Minister KG Arunraj, who argued that NEET undermines social justice, state rights over medical education, and opportunities for rural and socio-economically disadvantaged students.
The resolution urges the central government to amend relevant laws to discontinue the NEET system for medical admissions in the state.
