Madras High Court on NEET Inequality

In a data submitted by the Tamil Nadu government to the Madras High Court  it was revealed that only 2.1% of the students admitted into medical colleges in 2019 had passed the NEET exam without enrolling in private coaching centres. High Court observed that NEET had adversely affected the poor students and treated ‘unequals as equals. On one side ,3033 students secured MBBS seats by enrolling in private coaching ‘shops’, while only 48 students secured the seats without it. Thus, only 1.55% of the students in government medical colleges cleared the exams without getting coaching from private centres. In self-financing colleges, the percentage of students who secured medical seats without coaching was 3.15%.

The panel  of Tamil Nadu High Court asked why the present central government,did not scrap NEET. The panel revealed that private coaching institutes chargeanywhere between `2.5 lakh and `5 lakh. Therefore, the doors of most medical colleges were closed to poor students.The court remarked  “It is shocking to note that only negligible candidates have got admission without undergoing coaching. This means that medical education is not available to the poor,” said the court.
