Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis is likely to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday over the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) issue after several parents and students from the state opposed. it The Supreme Court turned down pleas by many state governments seeking to conduct their own medical admission tests and ruled that “only NEET would enable students to get admission to MBBS or BDS studies” last week. However, there are growing demands from the students and parents not to hold NEET this year as the students have already appeared for the state CET, which was based on the syllabus of state board and have little left for preparing for the NEET which is based on CBSC syllabus. The matter has also taken a political turn with Raj Thackeray, among others, jumping into the fray.
The chief minister’s office said Mr Fadnavis is likely to go to Delhi to meet the PM over NEET issue. However, his schedule was not finalised till late in the evening on Tuesday.
While interacting with media on Monday, the chief minister had said, “I have assured parents that I will meet PM Modi on the NEET issue. We are trying our best to resolve the issue. I will meet the PM to raise concerns of NEET students and will demand solution from the Central government.”
The Supreme Court has ruled that at the start of this academic session, students would have to appear for NEET to seek admission to any medical or dental college in the country.
