The report of the high level committee headed by on the impact of National Eligibility-cum Entrance Test (NEET) has created a lot of discussion in Tamil Nadu. In this interview with T, on Wednesday Justice Rajan speaks about certain key aspects of the report. Edited excerpts:
I have given two recommendations. First is that the existing laws itself are adequate to eliminate NEET for admissions to government-run medical colleges affiliated to Tamil Nadu Dr. MGR Medical University (TNMGRMU). This is because entry 32 of List II (State List of Schedule 7 of the Constitution of India) clearly places incorporation, regulation and winding up of universities exclusively under the State government’s purview. Moreover, entry 44 of List I (Union List) excludes universities from the Union government’s purview.
