Former Anna University Vice-Chancellor E. Balagurusamy has urged the Tamil Nadu government not to deny the State students an opportunity to study at Central universities.
“A common entrance examination is a golden opportunity for [students] to explore, expand and excel in their educational and career advancement,” he said in a statement.
Opposition to the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) would “badly affect the future of Tamil Nadu students,” he said. In fact, in 2010, the United Progressive Alliance government had introduced the Central Universities Common Entrance Test (CUCET), which was held across the country. CUET was only a revamped version, he said.
