Tamil Nadu Govt to Introduce Bill Exempting State from NEET for MBBS Admissions

News 18  

The Tamil Nadu government is likely to introduce a Bill in the State Assembly exempting the state’s medical aspirants from the National medical entrance test NEET, a move that the previous AIADMK government had taken but it fell by the wayside after it failed to secure the nod of the President. Responding to a question raised by MLA Udhayanidhi Stalin on the status of the government’s efforts to scrap the test in the state, the chief minister said the report filed by a panel headed by Justice AK Rajan would be studied in its entirety and then the government would move the Bill. The DMK government, nevertheless, has been urging aspirants to prepare for NEET, aware of the dangers of misleading the community that it would succeed in getting the test abolished in Tamil Nadu. The AIADMK government headed by Edappadi Palaniswami has lashed out at the DMK for not abolishing the medical entrance test as promised in its poll manifesto.
