MK Stalin Backs Student Uprising Against NEET

Stalin contends that the exam has failed to curb the commercialization of medical education or alleviate the intense psychological pressure placed on aspirants. By aligning with the student-led demonstrations, the former Chief Minister is pressuring the Union Government to devolve power, insisting that states must have the autonomy to determine their own educational standards.

For Tamil Nadu, the opposition to NEET is not merely a policy disagreement but a defense of local academic structures. Stalin maintains that the exam creates an uneven playing field, effectively undermining the state's efforts to ensure equitable access to medical seats. With protests gaining momentum, the demand to abolish the test has become a central rallying cry for those who view the centralized mandate as a direct challenge to the state's educational autonomy.
