7.5 percent quota for govt school students in MBBS admission: TN Cabinet decision
Chennai: The Tamil Nadu Cabinet has recently given its nod to the provision of a 7.5 per cent quota within the existing reservation in MBBS courses for the students of state government higher secondary schools.
The "quota within quota" covers government seats in private colleges too, official sources informed PTI adding that it will be applicable for students clearing the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).
Tamil Nadu had earlier sought exemption from NEET, which has faced stiff opposition from political parties, including the DMK, citing the welfare of students, especially those from rural areas, reports PTI.
The NEET exam is conducted every year by the National Testing Agency (NTA), an organisation under the Ministry of Human Resource Development Ministry.
In view of the current situation arising from COVID-19 pandemic, The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) (UG)-2020 has been rescheduled from 26.07.2020 (Sunday) to 13.09.2020 (Sunday) from 2.00 PM to 5.00 PM.
The dates of downloading of Admit Cards indicating Roll Number and Centre of Examination will be displayed 15 days before the conduct of examination on the official websites of NTA (www.nta.ac.in) and NEET (UG) -2020 (ntaneet.nic.in).
