The Tamil Nadu government has passed a new law which would exempt the state’s medical aspirants from NEET and would provide admission to undergraduate medical courses based on 10+2 qualifying marks. Justice AK Rajan, Tamil Nadu's NEET panel chief who has called for the elimination of the NEET exam, claims that poor students from uraban and rural areas were not getting their due and were unable to get to college. He also said that the panel has decided that 10+2 system is sufficient for continuing further studies.
