The NEET is being held from last year across the country to curb corruption by bringing in transparency, checking multiplicity of exams and to stop exploitation of students in counselling.
Under the new system, exams to private colleges will also be conducted under NEET. Tamilnadu government has been strongly objecting to the Centre’s move to conduct NEET for medical admissions.

Under mounting pressure from several States, the Union Government last year gave its nod for promulgation of an ordinance to keep State boards out of the ambit of uniform medical entrance examination, NEET.
