Should India scrap NEET? Tamil Nadus call beyond the CJPsdemands | Insight India

In this episode, we unpack the exam that triggered massive Gen Z-led protests in Delhi and across the country. The NEET exam and this years paper leak pushed the Cockroach Janta Party to demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. But the protests have since come to encompass broader grievances with the NEET exam and systemic issues within the education system. Tamil Nadu is one State that has historically opposed the NEET exam. We discuss why NEET is such a controversial exam, the financialization of education, and whether a fair NEET means decentralising the exam. In conversation with The Hindus Health Editor and Tamil Nadu Bureau Chief Ramya Kannan.
