For the first time, the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for medical studies has registered a 100 per cent score, that too by two students. They lead the 7.7 lakh students who qualified to attend counselling for admission to medical colleges across the country. The cut-off mark for qualification has also been kept higher this year -- 147 for general category students, compared to 134 last year. The cut off marks for reserved categories have also gone up. The highest qualifying percentages where in Delhi and Chandigarh, while Tamil Nadu achieved a qualifying percentage of over 57%. Tamil Nadu has seen major opposition to NEET over allegations that it favours CBSE students over State government school students. There is in fact a move to implement a 7.5% reservation for government school students who clear NEET in the State medical colleges. Over 15 lakh students took this year's exam conducted on September 12, with a second exam on October 14 for those who could not attend the first due to pandemic restrictions. The exam, which is usually conducted in May, was postponed twice owing to the pandemic. The additional time for preparation seems to have contributed towards the higher scores, along with a reportedly easier set of questions. During this period, several pleas had reached the Supreme Court against holding the exam amid the pandemic, including from Ministers of several non-BJP-ruled States. The Supreme Court had refused the pleas stating that an academic year cannot be left blank. The announcement of results comes as a possible end to the confusion for students and parents over this academic year. This, along with the unprecedented centums, is what makes this story important. |
