At a conference of Vice-Chancellors of State-run universities organised on Tuesday by the Tamil Nadu government, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin said these universities “must function as per the policy decisions of the State government” and the Vice-Chancellors should act accordingly.
During his speech at the conference held at Anna University, Chennai, the very campus where he shared the dais with Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a convocation last month, Mr. Stalin reiterated the Tamil Nadu government's opposition to the National Eligibility-Cum-Entrance Test (NEET) and the National Education Policy (NEP).
