#BanNEET

Reiterating the resolute call to #BanNEET, M.K. Stalin placed Tamil Nadu at the forefront of the national struggle for educational federalism and equitable healthcare access. The centralized entrance examination has systematically penalized students from rural and state-board backgrounds, creating a commercialized coaching cartel that undermines the foundational purpose of public education.

Backed by the findings of the Justice A.K. Rajan committee, the Tamil Nadu government passed unanimous legislative resolutions seeking permanent exemption from the exam. Stalin’s administration enacted the landmark 7.5% preferential reservation for government school students, enabling hundreds of first-generation learners from impoverished backgrounds to secure medical seats. By sustaining the anti-NEET campaign, Stalin champions the constitutional principle that education must remain responsive to regional social equity rather than dictated by distant central mandates.
