EXPLAINED: Tamil Nadu govt's bill against NEET

The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test is not a fair or equitable method of admission since it favoured the rich and elite sections of society, the preamble of the Bill to override NEET, which was passed in the Tamil Nadu Assembly on Monday said. Admissions to medical courses are traceable to entry 25 of List III, Schedule VII of the Constitution and therefore the state is competent to regulate the same, the Statement of Objects and Reasons (SoOAR) of the Bill said speaking on the TN legislature's competence to legislate on this subject. Students from affluent sections go abroad for higher studies after MBBS and the number of doctors serving in the state is declining, it said.
