High-level committee report on NEET has a ‘jaundiced view’, says TN Governor while returning Bill

The Hindu  

Tamil Nadu Governor R. N. Ravi, while returning the NEET exemption Bill to the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly Speaker, had termed the report of the high-level committee as merely reflecting “the jaundiced view” of the committee, headed by retired Justice A.K. The report, he said, had called NEET directionless, anti-merit, and had said it paved the way for poorly-skilled candidates who were financially and socially strong, and thus made the medical profession dominated by poor quality professionals, discouraged complex thinking and higher order of skilling, compared to the State Board examinations. Further, he said, the report claimed that NEET was heavily biased in favour of Physics, Chemistry and Biology instead of being open to test all possible knowledge as in the State Board examinations. Further, Mr. Ravi said, on the issue of the report arguing that NEET was against social justice as it allegedly favoured rich students who take advantage of coaching that the poor cannot afford, the report “totally ignores the fact that coaching skews the State Board results also”.
