Tamil Nadu Govt Seeks Cancellation Of NEET 2021

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has called for the cancellation of National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2021 citing the pandemic situation. “Given the circumstances, I’m of the strong view that conducting National level entrance examinations for any professional course would be immensely detrimental to the health and well-being of the students. I, therefore, urge you to cancel the conduct of all national level entrance examinations like NEET”, stated the Chief Minister. Earlier, CM Stalin tweeted, “I’ve written to @PMOIndia urging him to cancel the conduct of NEET and all other national level entrance exams, keeping in mind the safety of the students, as the reasons for cancelling the class XII board exams are equally applicable to entrance exams as well.”
