Tamil Nadu Government Takes NEET Exemption Battle to Supreme Court

The Tamil Nadu government has filed a suit in the Supreme Court against the President's refusal to grant assent to a bill exempting the state from the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for medical admissions. The state argues the decision is "unconstitutional and arbitrary," undermines federalism, and harms students from rural and economically weaker backgrounds. The legislation, passed twice by the state assembly, aims to restore medical admissions based on Class 12 marks.
