No Need For NEET In India
In India for the past so many years medical education has not been substandard and no sub standard students have been given admission to medical studies. About 70% of Indians are living in rural areas and it is divided by many states, many languages and many caste systems with poor economical status. So students studing in various education systems in various state board of examinations are facing difficulties of national common competitive examinations like NEET in India. Other than this, adaptation of quota reservation for various castes by different states is not possible under NEET system of admissions. If NEET based admissions are allowed, state medical colleges may not educate their own state students passing their school education in their own state languages. In India our Tamilnadu state follows medical admissions on the basis of +2 marks with the adaptation of 69% reservations. Thus intelligent students from the villages of various castes benefit every year without NEET in Tamilnadu.
