Tamil Nadu Chief Minister V. Vijay writes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to advise the Veterinary Council of India against introducing a common entrance test for admissions to veterinary courses. According to the reports, Vijay argues that the determination of admission criteria should be left to States rather than set through a central common exam.
The Chief Minister’s position, as stated in the letter, is that the proposed common entrance examination should be reviewed, with the matter handled by relevant authorities in a way that respects the role of States in admissions. The correspondence frames the request as an “advise” to the Veterinary Council of India to reconsider its decision.
Both outlets describe the same core development: Vijay’s letter to Modi expressing opposition to the idea of a common entrance test for veterinary admissions and calling for the States’ discretion in setting admission criteria. The reports do not provide details in the excerpts about the Veterinary Council’s specific rationale or the government’s immediate response.
