Anitha Suicide

Expressing deep concern over the suicide of 17-year-old S Anitha, who was an MBBS aspirant, the Madras High Court today sought to know from the Tamil Nadu government about the steps it had taken to prevent such tragedies in the future.

Class 12 student Christy had secured an amazing 1,176 out of 1,200 in her state board exams, but her dream of becoming a doctor now is under doubt. Like Anitha, whose suicide earlier this month sparked protests across the country, Christy could not qualify for the NEET.

Large-scale protests against the national entrance exam for medical colleges that disrupt normal life or can lead to violence have been disallowed in Tamil Nadu by the Supreme Court today, a directive that could force the opposition to cancel a series of protests planned against the national examination.

Srinivas, who wants to become a doctor, is shattered at the possibility of an ordinance that would exempt Tamil Nadu from the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test or NEET for undergraduate medical admissions for yet another year

Protests continued in Tamil Nadu for the third day today against the suicide of a Dalit medical aspirant and anti-NEET court petitioner, with students hitting the streets against the central and state governments.

Students of several educational institutions staged a demonstration here today to protest against NEET based selection of students to medical colleges.

The family of 17-year-old Anitha, who killed herself last week after failing to get admission to a medical college, has rejected the Tamil Nadu government's offer of seven lakh rupees in financial aid.

There are wide-spread protests across Tamil Nadu a day after a 17-year-old Dalit student, who had fought against the common entrance exam for medical colleges in the Supreme Court, committed suicide allegedly after she did not get an admission into a medical college.
