Rural and urban poor will not be able to join medical courses if NEET continues: Justice AK Rajan Committee Report National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET).
As per the report, rural candidates took a big hit on their dreams after NEET. This shows that in both government and self-financed colleges, rural students secured much less admission in the post-NEET period than urban students in the pre-NEET period.
In government lots, while rural students scored an average of 61.45% in pre-NEET and fell to 49.91% in 2020-21 after NEET, urban students scored an average of 38.55% in pre-NEET. Up to 50.09% in 2020-21 after NEET, the report showed.
“…If NEET continues for few more years. Health care system of Tamil Nadu will be badly affected, ” reveals the report. It said that Tamil Nadu’s health care system will be “severely affected” if medical entrance exams in the state continue. The 165-page report presented a bleak picture that What will happen. National testing should be continued in the state.
“Tamil Nadu can finally go back to the pre-independence days, where only barefoot doctors in small towns and villages were meeting the needs. Tamil Nadu as a state will move down the rank among the states in the medical and health care system,” the report said.
There are not enough doctors posted at various primary health centres. Government hospitals may not have enough specialist doctors to be employed, it said.
The report also listed the impact of NEET on the admission of Tamil medium students in government and self-financed medical colleges in Tamil Nadu.
Apart from pointing out the possible fall in standards, the Rajan committee also touched upon the Centre’s overreach in dealing with admissions in a state university that rests on the debate of impact on federalism.
The Rajan committee said that the conduct of medical tests is for the central government to take “control” of all universities established by state legislatures by law and to subordinate the state government to the central government in all matters of education. The committee said this would amount to “a change in one of the basic structures of the Constitution”.
Tamil Nadu government is actively pursuing suitable channel to add extension in its assembly resolution seeking exemption from NEET for the state.
