Vijay Targets NEET Again, Says Medical Admissions Should Depend On Class 12 Marks

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay has renewed the state’s demand to scrap NEET following the latest paper leak controversy. He urged the Centre to allow medical admissions based on Class 12 marks instead of a national entrance test. Tamil Nadu has long opposed NEET, arguing it disadvantages rural and vernacular-medium students while favouring urban coaching-driven candidates. The state had earlier challenged the President’s refusal to clear its NEET Exemption Bill in the Supreme Court. The latest controversy has reignited the national debate over fairness in medical admissions.
