DMK mouthpiece lashes out at guv for pro-NEET message

 DMK mouthpiece lashes out at guv for pro-NEET message

Chennai: The M K Stalin-led DMK on Saturday made a scathing attack on governor R N Ravi for his pro-NEET remarks in his RepublicDay message when the state is fighting to get exemption for Tamil Nadu students from NEET. The party mouthpieceMurasoli, in an article carried with a pen name, sought to remind Ravi, “This is not Nagaland, but Tamil Nadu,” in an apparent reference to Ravi’s earlier stint as governor of Nagaland, which had attracted opposition criticism.

In his customary message on the eve of the Republic Day, Ravi said improving the quality of education in government schools was the need of the time. Before the introduction of NEET, the share of students from government schools getting medical seats in government colleges was hardly 1%. “Thanks to the affirmative action of 7. 5% reservation for government school students, that number has improved significantly, however, there is an urgentneedto improvethe quality of education also in government schools,” Ravi said. He also said depriving students of  
knowledge of other Indian languages was unfair to all.

The ruling DMK, which was upset with Ravi for delaying his decision on the Bill seeking exemption for Tamil Nadu from NEET— passed intheassembly in September, has not taken lightly to Ravi’s remarks on NEET. It is incensed over the inference in Ravi’s message that the previous AIADMK government provided 7. 5% reservation to government school students in medical admission.

The article attacking Ravi read, “Intimidating tactics is perhaps needed for the police department (Ravi is a retired IPS officer); it will be helpful on many occasions, but he should realize that it will not help achieve anything in politics”. It charged the governor with transgressing his Constitutional role by supporting NEET when “the whole state, barring a few Sanghis” was opposing the common entrance test.

People in Tamil Nadu, unlike other states, are politically conscious even if they live in remote villages. It would do good for the governor to understand the state and its history before making unsavoury comments that bring disrepute to his position, the article said. Taking a leaf from a folklore, it added, “Kokkendru ninaithayo, Konganava” (Recalling the story of sage Konganavar, who killed a stork, the article asked Ravi whether he thinks it [read DMK gover nment] is a stork).

The governor should explain to the people whether it is fair to take refuge under legal cover andsiton the Bill,dashing thewishes of seven crorepeople and insulting them, it said.

The article also had a word of advice to Ravi about his role as the Union government’s representative. His duty was to inform the Centre about the sentiments of the people and not push the Union government’s agenda down their throats, it said.

While the counselling process of the much-awaited NEET PG has started recently, many MBBS doctors who were to appear for the counselling are in a fix. The PG aspirants are upset over the clash of dates for PG counselling and NEET PG exams.

The counselling dates for NEET-PG 2021 were postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic and court hearings over the OBC and EWS quota issue. The NEET PG exam is scheduled for March 12, 2022. The issue lies with the date getting overlapped with the ongoing counselling of NEET PG 2021, which will end by March 16, 2022.

“The situation is becoming difficult for the borderline rank holders who are uncertain about securing a seat this year since their ranks are in the hanging line. These students are worried about whether to appear for the counselling process or sit for the NEET PG on March 12,” says Dr Chinmayee Gowda, Women Wing incharge Federation of all India Medical associations, State Vice President, NSUI Karnataka.

“For NEET MDS, the examination got postponed by three months because their counselling procedures were not over in December 2021. So why is our concern not dealt with, in the same manner,” she questions.

“Many students who got ranks between 20,00050,000 have enrolled into NEET PG counselling 2021 hoping for a seat in their de-sired branch. But now the National Board of Examination (NBE) announced NEET PG 2022 exam even before the completion of the counselling process of the previous year. The final day for NEET PG 2022 registration is February 5 and our second round counselling results will be out on February 12. This will force a large number of students to register for NEET PG 2022 and pay for both counselling and NEET PG registration,” says Dr Madhu R, Intern, AJ Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Karnataka.

More than 8000 interns are not eligible to write the NEET PG 2022 as their final exams were postponed due to Covid and the internships started late. “My internship was postponed and it started last year in October. This does not fulfil the 10-month compulsory internship criteria that a student is required to appear for NEET PG 2022. I will not be able to attempt the NEET PG 2022 with no fault of mine. The uncertainty of next year's PG curriculum just adds to this anxiety," says Dr Aman Sinha, Intern, Jawahar Lal Nehru Medical College, Bhagalpur.
From 2023, NBEMS is planning to replace the NEET PG with NEXT which has a completely different approach. NEET PG 2022 is essentially the last NEET for postgraduate students. Stealing this opportunity from the PG aspirants is not fair idea, says an MBBS student from CU Shah Medical College and Hospital, Gujarat.

NEET PG 2021



 Students from state fare better in NEET-UG


21.01.2022

Mumbai: Performances of state students in NEET-UG 2021 has improved over the previous year. The provisional merit list for state students was released late Wednesday night, almost three months after the NEET-UG results were announced. The 100th state rank was bagged by a student with an all-India rank of 1,165 this year. Last year, the corresponding rank was 1,874, indicating students’ performance in terms of rank is better than last year.

On the state merit list,12 from the state bagged all-India ranks within 100, as opposed to only two last year. A few top-ranking students, however, directly apply to central universities such as AIIMS, so may have not featured on the state list. The number of girls qualifying in the top100 state ranks in NEET-UG, however, dropped to 30, from last year’s 41. In all, 59,437 students registered for admissions to health science courses this year, as opposed to last year’s 64,645.
