If the centralized medical entrance test – NEET – continues, there may not be enough specialist doctors to be employed in government hospitals, reveals a 165-page report of the retired Justice Rajan committee, titled “Impacts of NEET To study the report of the High Level Committee”. On medical admission in Tamil Nadu”. The Justice AK Rajan committee was constituted by the Tamil Nadu government to study the socio-economic impact of NEET.
Finally, the 165-page report has been released. This is the report on the basis of which the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly has voted against conducting the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). The state has sought exemption from centralized examination for its students. The state government suggests that Students should be enrolled in colleges on the basis of class 12 marks instead of NEET.
The report shows that students enrolled in MBBS courses through NEET performed worse than students enrolled on the basis of class 12 marks.
If NEET continues for a few more years, “Tamil Nadu’s health care system will be severely affected,” the report said. It added that as a result, Tamil Nadu may eventually go back to the pre-independence days. A state like Tamil Nadu will go down in rank among states in the medical and health care system, the report said.
The report also suggests that NEET is more inclined towards students from wealthy families. NEET is dangerous for the strong public health system prevailing in Tamil Nadu. “Those who take admission on the basis of NEET are mainly from urban, affluent, educated families. We found that 70% of the students chose to work with private corporate hospitals after completing their PG course. But this was not the case before the introduction of NEET. Earlier, 70% of the students chose to work in government hospitals. That’s why I would say NEET is devastating, it shatters the public health system,” Justice AK Rajan committee member Dr Jawahar Neeson told News18.com.
The Justice AK Rajan committee consists of nine members including the state health secretary, director of medical education. The committee received around 90000 responses from the public regarding the impact of NEET. The committee worked for a month to submit the 165-page report to the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
