Tamil Nadu's NEET Solution

India Today  

Kicking up a storm, Tamil Nadu governor Banwarilal Purohit has put on hold giving his assent to a bill passed by the state legislature on September 15. The delay has fuelled speculation that governor Purohit wanted the state government to implement the Union government’s 10 per cent reservation for economically weaker sections among upper castes if they wanted him to approve the 7.5 per cent reservation for government school students. He explained that the 7.5 per cent reservation for government school students was brought about because the socio-economic background of students in government and private schools were vastly different. These included ‘socio-economic factors such as caste, wealth, parental occupation, parental education and gender’, and that ‘these socio-economic barriers cannot be bridged by a few months of intensive coaching for the NEET.’ The committee decided that priority must be given to government school students as it ‘would be a righteous act to bring equality between government and private school students.’ Further, it was the initiative of the AIADMK government that increased the total number of medical seats in the state to 1,400 and made efforts to set up new medical colleges and raised the number to 1,650. So, if the 7.5 per cent reservation comes into force over 300 government school students would join medical courses while only eight from these schools will get admission if it was based only on the NEET scores.
