Dr Rohan Krishnan has narrated his challenging experiences with medical entrance examinations prior to the implementation of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).
He recalled the pre-NEET period as an era marked by considerable disarray, with students having to navigate multiple entrance tests for medical college admissions. This often involved differing examination patterns and varying conditions across different institutions.
Speaking about the advantages of NEET, Dr Krishnan emphasized that the single national examination has streamlined the admission process. It ensures uniformity through a common question paper, standardized examination conditions, and a single merit list, thereby reducing the chaos and stress previously associated with multiple tests.
