Chennai: In a statement released on Saturday, Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi stated unequivocally that he will never clear the state government's anti-NEET bill, even though it is currently pending the assent of the President. This drew a furious response from the ruling DMK and its ally, the CPI.
According to the man who asked the Governor a question about it during a meeting at the Raj Bhavan, students in TN have been fighting NEET for the past five or six years.
During a 'Dare to Think Series' event with top UG-2023 NEET scores, Ravi emphasised that success in the present does not guarantee success in the future without passing the National Entrance-cum-Eligibility Test (NEET). He insisted that the qualifying examination will remain in place.—Inputs from Agencies
