The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly on Monday “unanimously” adopted a resolution urging the Union government to withdraw the proposal of conducting of Common University Entrance Test (CUET). All politicial parties except the BJP supported the resolution moved by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin.
The University Grants Commission had announced that the admissions for various courses, including under-graduate programmess in all Central universities [funded by it] would be held only on the basis of the CUET scores from the academic year 2022-2023.
“There is no doubt that this CUET, like NEET, will sideline the diverse school education systems across the country, grossly undermine the relevance of overall development-oriented long-form learning in schools and make students rely upon coaching centres for improving their entrance examinations scores,” the resolution said.
