Justice AK Rajan committee releases report on NEET Exam

A committee constituted by Justice AK Rajan has released a brief report on the National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET).

If NEET continues, students of rural and urban poor communities may not be able to join the medical courses. This was stated in the Justice AK Rajan committee report on the medical entrance exam of India.

The report also listed the influence of NEET on the admission of Tamil medium students into government and self-financing medical colleges in Tamil Nadu.

The report also reveals that the students who have been enrolled in MBBS courses via NEET have performed poorly than those enrolled based on class 12 marks.

If NEET continues for a few more years, Tamil Nadu as a State would go down in the rank among States, in the Medical and Health Care system, states the report.

The 165-pages report is the basis on which the Tamil Nadu assembly has voted against having the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).

The state govt suggests that students should be enrolled in colleges based on class 12 marks instead of NEET.

According to the report, the rural candidates took a big hit on their dreams post-NEET. It shows that in both government and self-financed colleges, rural students secured admissions far less than the urban students in the post-NEET compared to the pre-NEET period.

In the government lot, the rural students maintained an average of 61.45% in the pre-NEET and decreased to 49.91% in 2020-21 in the post-NEET. While the urban candidates who fared 38.55% average in the pre-NEET rose to 50.09% in 2020-21 in the post-NEET.

The report states that ultimately Tamil Nadu may go back to pre-independence days, wherein small towns and in villages only bare-foot doctors catering for the needs were available. Tamil Nadu as a State would go down in the rank among States, in the Medical and Health Care system.
