Tamil Nadu CM Vijay renewed long-standing demand to abolish NEET admissions on Tuesday after the 2026 paper leak controversy triggered nationwide outrage. In a statement posted on X, Vijay urged the Centre to allow states to admit MBBS, BDS and AYUSH students based on Class 12 marks instead of the national entrance examination. He said repeated paper leak incidents exposed “structural flaws” in NEET and highlighted that the exam disadvantages rural, government school, Tamil-medium and economically weaker students. Vijay recalled that a 2024 leak had already led to FIRs and a reform panel headed by former ISRO chief K Radhakrishnan before another cancellation emerged this year. (PC: X)
