PMK seeks clarification on NEET Bill status from DMK

Chennai:21.12.2021

PMK leader S Ramadoss on Monday sought clarification from the DMK government on the status of the NEET Bill, given that 100 days have passed since it was passed in the state legislature and sent for assent from governor R N Ravi and President Kovind. There is no other reason but politics for the governor not to give assent to the Bill, Ramadoss alleged.

“The Bill was passed on September 13 for medical admission on the basis of marks obtained by students in class 12 board examinations. All parties except BJP had endorsed the Bill. There has been no progress barring passage of the Bill,” Ramadoss said. He said a Bill to cancel the entrance examination for medical and engineering admission was passed in December 2006 and the entire process, including assent for the Bill, was given in 86 days, which was the correct duration.
