NEET panel files report, says ‘most don’t want it’
15.07.2021
Justice A K Rajan panel appointed by TN to study the impact of NEET in medical admissions submitted a 165-page report to chief minister M K Stalin on Wednesday. While Justice Rajan did not reveal the contents of the report, sources said the panel has pointed out how rich students living in cities have a better chance of getting medical seats under NEET, the lack of level-playing field under the test for students with poor access to facilities such as internet, and how the test undermines students’ performance in Class12 exam.
The report was prepared after looking into 86,000 representations from stakeholders, a majority of whom said they “don’t want NEET,” Justice Rajan told reporters at the secretariat. The impact of NEET on aspirants and several sections of society has been dealt with and the report is completely based on data and not on personal opinions, he said answering a question.
Two TN ministers, meanwhile, said the government will continue training students for NEET-2021 until the state gets an exemption from the test. “As of now MBBS admissions is NEET based,” health minister Ma Subramanian said. TNN
