Bring resolution to stop NEET in TN: Stalin to Jaya

DMK treasurer MK Stalin today urged Chief Minister Jayalalithaa to get a resolution passed in the state Assembly to prevail upon the Centreto ensure that there is no entrance examination for medical admissions in Tamil Nadu.
He was referring to Centre's ordinance that exempted state government medical colleges from the Supreme Court-mandated single All India entrance examination for a year.
"A resolution should be adopted in the Assembly to urge the Centre that entranceexaminations should be fully done away with in Tamil Nadu (in future also)."
The resolution should be adopted unnanimously, he said in a Facebook post and urged Jayalalithaa to "ensure that there is no entrance examination inTamil Nadu."

Entrance examinations for professional courses like medicine and engineering wererescinded in 2006 to protect the interests of minorities, rural, backward, most backwardand SC, ST, students, he recalled.
"Entrance examination will shatter the aspirations of rural, poor students, backward,SC, ST, and minorities," he said adding social justice should be protected.
On May 24, Jayalalithaa in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modihad asked the Centre to ensure that entrance examination for medical admissions "is notforced" on Tamil Nadu in future too as its implementation would "nullify" the State's welfareoriented initiatives and socio-economic objectives.
On May 13, addressing an election rally at Palayamkottai, she had said stepswould be taken to see that there was no entrance test. She had also said if necessary, a legislation would be enacted to ensure status quo of admitting students based on theirclass XII marks.
