PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss on Friday held the State Government responsible for the poor performance of government school students in the NEET.
According to him, only 51.20% of Tamil Nadu students have qualified in the NEET this year, which was less than the national average of 56.30%.
“In 2020 and 2021, 57.40% and 54.40% of students had qualified. For the second year in a row, the percentage of students qualifying for admission has reduced. What is even more worrying is that only 12.86% of 1, 32, 167 students who appeared for the exam are government school students. Of them, only around 3,400 of have qualified. The cut-off for SC/ST is expected to be around 515. In such a scenario, without 7.5% reservations for government school students, not a single student will get a seat,” he said.
