Bengal has joined the rank of states who want the all-India Medical entrance exam NEET out. Today it became the second state after Tamil Nadu to pass a resolution against the exam and maintained that it wants to revert to the earlier system.
The state's move came a day after the Supreme Court said there would be no re-test for NEET.
“When the exams were handed over to the Centre in brazen step of dismantling the federal structure, there were protests from our side. The then Chief Minister of Gujarat Narendra Modi had said that NEET exams should not be handled by the Centre,” said state education Minister Bratya Basu.
“Those who are bringing this resolution are neck deep in corruption in the education system. Trinamool and Transparency have no connection at all,” countered BJP's Sankar Ghosh.
