Should NEET be scrapped – Part 2: Does NEET undermine merit?
NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) is a high stakes, high pressure exam that can make or mar the careers and fortunes of entire families. At least 14-NEET-linked suicides were reported this year, and the Tamil Nadu government’s official position is that NEET should be scrapped.
Is a highly centralised MCQ-format exam the best way to assess the merit of a medical education aspirant?
In Part 1 of this series, we looked at whether NEET as a system is aligned with India’s social goals. In the second episode, we unpack NEET’s relationship with merit.
Joining us today is Professor T Sundararaman, a public health expert based in Puducherry.
Host: G Sampath, Social Affairs Editor, The Hindu
