Tamil Nadu Medical Students Left Hanging As State Seeks NEET Exemption

Time is running out for several thousand medical aspirants vying for the some 3,000 MBBS seats across Tamil Nadu. After a court order on Monday struck down 85 per cent reservation for Tamil Nadu state education board students in medical colleges in the state, the state government has been sitting on a proposal to challenge it in the Supreme Court. As a result, with counselling already on for those who've cleared the National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET) elsewhere, students from the state are caught in an inconvenient spot.
