Centre not to act on Madras HC’s remarks on NEET

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is not planning to take action on the Madras High Court’s remark that the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) favours the urban and wealthy candidates who can afford coaching. Madras High Court while hearing a case related to NEET had made two broad observations in November 2019.
1. number of candidates who appeared multiple times got admission more than who appeared the first time.
2.only negligible candidates got admission without undergoing coaching

 The Madras HC’s remarks  were on equity and access. In words of court “That means medical education is not available to the poor people and it is available only to those who underwent coaching classes by spending lakhs of rupees. Moreover, this will also put rural students in a disadvantageous position, as they lack facilities of undergoing coaching."

However, the Central Government this issue does not require any action.
