From Tamil Nadu to Karnataka: Why states want NEET scrapped -- and what the law says

NEET is opposed by states like Tamil Nadu and Karnataka for disadvantaging rural, government school, and state board students.

The exam allegedly favors students from CBSE schools and coaching institutes, creating inequity in medical admissions.

Several states have passed resolutions or laws to scrap NEET, citing it violates federal rights and regional education systems.

The central government defends NEET as a uniform entry test to ensure merit and curb corruption in medical admissions.

The Supreme Court has upheld NEET's validity, but states continue to push for exemptions or a common board exam.
