The Kerala Legislative Assembly passes a resolution urging the central government to reform the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) and other national-level entrance examinations. The resolution is moved by the state Higher Education Minister, Roji M John. Members of the House cite concerns about the credibility, transparency, and fairness of these exams. The resolution also highlights allegations of irregularities and paper leaks, particularly in the last three years, and calls for urgent corrective action.
The reporting also notes that there is disagreement within the Assembly. BJP members oppose remarks made in relation to the Centre during the discussion, even as the House proceeds with adopting the resolution. The resolution’s focus remains on strengthening the examination system to address public concerns around integrity and reliability, and on seeking reforms from the central government rather than changing the process at the state level.
