Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay reiterates the state’s opposition to NEET, calling for medical admissions to be based on Class XII marks. The remarks come during a meeting with a Nandan Nilekani-led High Powered Task Force on Examination Reforms.
Across the outlets, the core position is the same: Vijay repeats that Tamil Nadu wants NEET scrapped and argues that eligibility should rest only on school examination performance. Times of India adds that the state is relying on a unanimous Assembly resolution passed on August 11, 2026, while The Hindu and India Today focus more directly on Vijay’s reiteration to the task force.
The different framings centre on emphasis rather than conflicting claims. Times of India foregrounds the proposed alternative admission method and the reference to the state legislature’s resolution. The Hindu keeps the wording tighter around Class XII marks. India Today presents the meeting and reiteration without additional procedural detail.
