For Elimination, Not Eligibility: Kanimozhi Underscores 'NEET Exit' Demand
NDTV
Kanimozhi argued that while the NEET works for city students who are able to take advanced coaching, it places rural students of Tamil Nadu at an immense disadvantage
Tamil Nadu has always done well with its own system of medical recruitment exam and should be exempt from the NEET-UG 2024 (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test), the ruling DMK's MP Kanimozhi told NDTV today amid headlines generated by the all-India exam over allegations of paper leak. Calling NEET an "eliminating examination" and not an "eligibility exam", she said the state has been suffering a lot since it was introduced. "We don't have doctors in rural areas... the healthcare system is suffering because NEET was brought in,' she added.
Earlier today, the Centre told the Supreme Court that the scorecards of 1,563 NEET candidates who were given grace marks for a wrong question will be scrapped and they will be given an option to take a retest. The re-test will be held on June 23 and the results will be declared on June 30.
Union Human Resource of Development minister Dharmendra Pradhan has asserted that there was no paper leak and the Centre's new decision will not place any student at a disadvantage.
