NEET will take Tamil Nadu to pre-Independence Days: AK Rajan panel

“If NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) continues for a few more years the health care system of TN will be very badly affected. There may not be enough doctors for primary health centres. Further, the rural and urban poor may not be able to join medical courses. Tamil Nadu, as a State, would go down in the rank among states in medical and health care systems,” the  Justice (retired) A K Rajan committee, appointed in June to study the impact of NEET in Tamil Nadu, said. Last week, the state Assembly had adopted a bill to override NEET after the committee had submitted its report.
