<p>To achieve social fairness, the Tamil Nadu Assembly passed a bill on Monday to abolish the National Entrance cum Eligibility Test (NEET) and allow admission to medical colleges based on Class 12 marks.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>All parties backed the Bill, which seeks to provide for admission to UG degrees in medicine, dentistry, Indian medicine, and homeopathy based on Class 12 marks, including the main opposition AIADMK and its ally PMK, as well as others like the Congress. The BJP staged a walkout in protest of the government&#8217;s decision.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Stalin introduced the bill after a high-level committee chaired by retired judge AK Rajan delivered its report in July. The report was developed after going into roughly 86,000 representations from various stakeholders, the majority of whom claimed they do not want NEET, as per the retired Madras High Court Judge.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A 19-year-old medical aspirant died by suicide in Tamil Nadu&#8217;s Salem district ahead of the Medical Entrance Exam NEET today.</p>
<p>After much delay due to the second wave of COVID-19, and amid campaigns for a further postponement, the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET 2021) for admission to undergraduate medical courses in India will be conducted today in 202 test cities.</p>
<p>The medical aspirant, identified as Dhanush, was the son of farm labourer and was found dead hours before the NEET exam was to take place. He had failed to clear the last two attempts at NEET.</p>
<p>Soon after his death, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin appealed to students to not lose hope and assured that a bill against NEET will be brought out tomorrow.</p>
<p>He said the youngster&#8217;s death reinforces the need to bring back education to the state&#8217;s list.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Union government&#8217;s indifference and adamant attitude over NEET continues to be the reason for suicide by promising students,&#8221; Mr Stalin said.</p>
<p>Several politicians and students have protested against the go-ahead given to NEET exam this year, given the ongoing pandemic and pleas by many students to reschedule it as the NEET date clashed with other exams, including those for compartment exams for CBSE students.</p>
<p>However, the centre had said it does not have any plans to suspend NEET and other common entrance examinations.</p>
<p>&#8220;We will pass a bill against NEET and I am confident we would win the support of all chief ministers,&#8221; Mr Stalin added.</p>
<p>&#8220;I appeal to students to not take any drastic decisions,&#8221; the chief minister said.</p>
<p>The National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducts the exam, had recently received approval from the Supreme Court of India to conduct it as per schedule. The court rejected a plea filed by some students saying NEET was clashing with other exams.</p>
<p>Tamil Nadu had abolished NEET exams for nearly a decade, saying that it favours affluent as even brilliant poor students and those in rural areas are unable to afford private coaching. Over the last few years, 15 medical aspirants have died by suicide in the state.</p>
<p>NEET was introduced during the UPA regime when Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) was part of it. Then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi had managed to get presidential approval for exemption from NEET for the state. However, the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) government could not get a similar exemption from its BJP ally when it came to power, even though the state assembly had passed a Bill against NEET.</p>
<p>The ruling DMK recently constituted a commission under retired justice AK Rajan to study the impact of NEET in medical admissions. Armed with the commission&#8217;s report, the state government is hopeful of getting an exemption once again. This was also a key poll promise made by the party.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Madras High Court on Tuesday dismissed a plea filed by Tamil Nadu BJP General Secretary Karu Nagarajan, challenging the state government’s decision to form a committee to study the impact of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) on the socially disadvantaged students of the state. The ruling DMK had last month constituted the panel, headed by retired judge AK Rajan.</p>
<p>The High Court said setting up of the committee does not pose any challenge to the centre’s right to fix the standard of higher education in the country.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, the centre in its response to the petition said the Justice Ranjan panel has no right to decide on NEET. It is an exercise in futility as the Supreme Court of India has upheld the validity of the medical exam, it said.</p>
<p>The High Court order said setting up of the commission can not be seen as contrary to any Supreme Court order, or to any legislative action taken by the centre.</p>
<p>The commission may come up with suggestions to persuade the centre to make NEET more inclusive for students from economically or socially weaker sections, the court observed.</p>
<p>Almost all Tamil Nadu parties, including the ruling DMK, BJP’s ally and opposition AIADMK, are on the same page when it comes to NEET. They have been demanding that the test be scrapped.</p>

The state administration has sought public comment on or before June 23 in a newspaper advertising.</p>
<p>According to the state government, the NEET committee, chaired by former Madras High Court judge Justice AK Rajan, would investigate the impact of the NEET test on applicants from the socioeconomically deprived sectors in medical admissions and provide a report in a month. According to an official announcement, the government will determine its next line of action based on the committee&#8217;s suggestions.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Six ministers of opposition-ruled states moved the Supreme Court on Friday seeking review of its order permitting the Centre to conduct NEET and JEE entrance exams this year amid the persisting COVID-19 pandemic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The review plea has been filed by ministers from West Bengal (Moloy Ghatak), Jharkhand (Rameshwar Oraon), Rajasthan (Raghu Sharma), Chhattisgarh (Amarjeet Bhagat), Punjab (B S Sidhu) and Maharashtra (Uday Ravindra Sawant).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The plea has been filed through advocate Sunil Fernandes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On Aug 17, the top court had refused to interfere with the conduct of medical and engineering entrance exams &#8212; NEET and JEE   scheduled to take place in September saying that life must go on and students can&#8217;t lose a precious year due to the pandemic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The apex court had dismissed a plea by one Sayantan Biswas seeking direction to National Testing Agency, which conducts both the NEET and JEE exams, to postpone them and said that there was absolutely&#8221; no merit in the plea.</p>
