The Introduction of NEET created havoc in the state of Tamil Nadu. From suicides to large scale protest, the examination was resisted mainly due to –
Uniform Syllabus: Since the syllabus is based on CBSE pattern, it is a disadvantage for other board students.
Regional Language Issues: The casual attitude of CBSE in converting NEET paper in regional languages created furore, as 49 mistakes were encountered in 2019 Tamil Language NEET exam resulting into state approaching High Court against CBSE.
Centre-State Relation – Education is a subject in concurrent list, but upper hand to center’s legislation like NEET which bypasses every other admission process goes against the federal spirit. This further dents the notion of ‘Co-operative federalism’.
