The Tamil Nadu government has introduced a resolution to prohibit the NEET exam, prompting a walkout by BJP legislators.
The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly passed a resolution today calling for the prohibition of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for medical admissions in the state.
The resolution, introduced by the ruling party, argues that NEET unfairly disadvantages students from Tamil Nadu and that a state‑level entrance exam would better serve local aspirants.
In response, BJP legislators staged a walkout during the session, expressing their opposition to the resolution and accusing the government of undermining a national standard.
The move has drawn criticism from opposition parties and education experts, who warn that banning NEET could create confusion for students applying to medical colleges across India.
