Tamil Nadu Assembly urges the Centre to withdraw the CUET and anti CUET bills as part of its resolution.
MK Stalin's DMK has recently informed the Tamil Nadu Assembly that the Centre should withdraw CUET. It was also announced that the DMK government had withdrawn the CUET on the same day that a bill to ban neet was passed. The Common University Entrance Test, CUET 2022, is heading towards becoming an anti-CUET bill. For quite some time now, MK Stalin's government has been pushing for a CUET ban in line with the NEET ban bill.
CUET was announced by the University Grants Commission as the admission procedure for UG admissions to Central Universities, causing an uproar in Tamil Nadu. Before all of this happened today, on 11 April 2022, it was reported that the government was going to introduce a resolution against CUET. The CUCET exam, which replaces the traditional cut-off system, was introduced in the country recently.
The resolution was passed almost immediately after this happened. CM Stalin explained in his letter to PM Modi that an entrance exam based on NCERT would not provide equal opportunities to all students. State Board syllabus students are more likely to have problems, putting a majority of deserving students at a disadvantage.
The Anti-NEET Bill has been passed in Tamil Nadu, but the final approval for implementation has not yet been granted. According to the history of Tamil Nadu's entrance examinations, the Assembly passed the bill, but it has not been approved. The future course of CUET will have to be determined later, whether or not it follows a similar path. The state can expect an Anti-CUET bill to be introduced and tabled within weeks.
