The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution requesting the Union Government to abolish the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for undergraduate medical admissions in the state.
The resolution advocates for restoring state autonomy in medical education admissions, proposing that candidate selection be based on Class 12 higher secondary examination marks. Legislators argued that standardized entrance tests create unequal hurdles for rural and economically disadvantaged students.
The official resolution will be forwarded to the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for executive review.
