DMK demands abolition of NEET amid student protests
DMK president M K Stalin demanded the abolition of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) on July 23, 2026.
Stalin said scrapping NEET is the only lasting solution to recurring concerns over irregularities.
He noted that the DMK had opposed NEET from the beginning, warning it was designed to enable large-scale irregularities.
Members of the Students Federation of India (SFI) and the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) were arrested while protesting against alleged NEET irregularities.
Leader of Opposition in Tamil Nadu Assembly Udhayanidhi Stalin condemned the arrests, accusing the state government of double standards.
