Since the exam became required in the state in 2017 as a result of a Supreme Court decision, over 20 medical aspirants have committed themselves.
The justification for opposing NEET in Tamil Nadu has been that it unfairly discriminates against students from rural and low-income backgrounds (who cannot afford coaching) and those enrolled in boards other than the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).
Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi, the state’s minister of education, pleaded with students not to resort to drastic measures in the event that they failed the exam.
No matter how much confidence we give them, there is a worry that they might go the extreme step. I advise students to visit the counselling centres in their schools if they are having a bad day, according to Poyyamozhi.
Poyyamozhi continued, “We have started getting a lot of calls in our 104 counselling helpline.
