Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Moves Resolution for CUET Removal to TN Assembly

Mr. M.K Stalin, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu, moved a resolution in the state assembly.

Mr. Stalin opined that the CUET would sideline the diverse school education system across the country like the NEET examination. He also stated that CUET would yield and give away to coaching culture as parents and students will focus on getting score in the entrance examination, as a result, it would lead to the mental stress of the student because they must prepare for the regular college studies apart from preparing for the CUET.

The resolution also stated a point conveying that any entrance examination, which is based on NCERT, will not give equal opportunities to the students, who have studied different state board syllabi. The resolution clearly mentions that around 80% percent of students across the county study their state board syllabus and write state board examinations and they do come from a marginalized society.
