New Bill is based upon quantifiable data, protects quota for govt. school students
Though Governor R.N. Ravi is yet to clear the Bill adopted by the Assembly in September to scrap the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) as the sole gateway for admission to undergraduate medical courses, the DMK government is hopeful of having its way.
Sources say the government’s optimism stems from the major difference between a similar Bill of 2017, which was rejected by President Ram Nath Kovind in September that year, and the present one.
Unlike the former, the new Bill is based upon quantifiable data, as assessed by a committee led by A.K. Rajan, former judge of the Madras High Court, to study the impact of NEET on medical admissions.
