Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay-led Tamil Nadu government on Wednesday urged the Centre to scrap the Eligibility cum Entrance Test, or NEET - a nationwide entrance examination for admission in medical programs in India - and said the admissions should be based on Class 12 marks. The request came amid a widespread uproar over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. The exam, which was held on May 3 and taken up by over 20 lakh students, was cancelled on May 12 amid allegations of a paper leak.
A re-exam was held on June 21. Presenting the TVK government's first budget in the assembly, Tamil Nadu Finance Minister N Marie Wilson said the NEET paper leaks were "creating issues". He requested the Centre to revert to the old method of admissions based on Class 12 marks.
