A 19-year-old medical aspirant from Tamil Nadu's Viluppuram district died by suicide, reportedly due to anxiety over the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). This tragic event has intensified political debates, with AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami accusing the ruling DMK of misleading students with unfulfilled promises to abolish NEET. He urged Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin to disclose their strategy for scrapping the exam. The incident underscores ongoing concerns about the psychological impact of NEET on students and has reignited discussions on educational reforms in Tamil Nadu. (PC: Getty Images)
