MK Stalin Urges Centre to Scrap NEET
MK Stalin, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, has asked the central government to stop the NEET exam.
He says NEET was supposed to make things easier for students, but it has made things harder.
Students now need to go to expensive coaching centers to pass NEET, which is not fair.
Many students are protesting because they think NEET is unfair.
Stalin says the only way to fix this is to get rid of NEET completely.
He believes this will make medical education fair for everyone, especially those from rural areas and poor families.
MK Stalin urges the Centre to scrap NEET, calling it unfair and disadvantageous to rural and poor students.
NEET has increased dependence on coaching centers, adding financial and mental pressure on students.
Protests at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi demand changes in the medical admission system due to alleged irregularities in NEET.
DMK has opposed NEET from its introduction, arguing it affects students from rural areas and government schools.
Stalin maintains that abolishing NEET is necessary to ensure fairness, transparency, and equal opportunities in medical education.
