Within the wake of two NEET candidates ending their lives, AIADMK co-coordinator Edappadi Okay. Palaniswami on Sunday demanded that the federal government start teaching courses for the medical entrance check. Teaching needs to be supplied until the State will get an exemption from the check, he added.
He stated the DMK had politicised the problem repeatedly. Its assurance, earlier than and after coming to energy, that NEET can be cancelled was the explanation behind the emotional misery among the many college students. “I urge this authorities to clarify the precise standing of NEET to the scholars and supply particular teaching courses till it’s cancelled,” the previous Chief Minister stated. He additionally demanded {that a} monetary help of ₹25 lakh be given to the households of deceased college students.
Mr. Palaniswami appealed to the scholars in opposition to taking the intense step. “Medical training alone shouldn’t be life. There are at the least 40 medicine-related programmes. College students shouldn’t get emotionally distressed over scoring much less in NEET,” he stated.
Final week, two women, one from Gudalur within the Nilgiris district and one other from Peravurani in Thanjavur district, had been distressed over scoring low marks in NEET, and ended their lives because of their incapacity to pursue medical training, Mr. Palaniswami stated.
