Pointing out that Tamil Nadu was the first to oppose the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) for admission into medical colleges, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Friday, June 14, 2024, asserted that his government would end the “fraudulent” NEET one day.

Addressing students and teachers at a felicitation function organised by the School Education Department in Chennai, the CM said that “fraudulent” practices were being seen in NEET and hence, the government was opposing it.

We see all of India is opposing it today. We will end this fraud one day. It is our responsibility,” he reiterated.
