Tamil Nadu Governor Clears 7.5% NEET Admissions Quota

Chennai:

Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit has given his consent to a unanimously passed bill paving the way for 7.5 per cent seats in the state’s medical colleges to be reserved for government schools students, who qualify the mandatory national medical entrance test NEET.

The quota would be applicable from this academic year for which admissions will begin soon.

The development comes a day after the Tamil Nadu government issued an executive order to implement the bill’s provisions after Mr Purohit sought time for review.
