In a special sitting at Fort St George, the Nadu assembly on Tuesday reintroduced the Bill, popularly known as the anti-NEET Bill, to provide for admission to undergraduate courses in medicine, dentistry, Indian medicine and homeopathy on the basis of marks obtained in the qualifying examination. The anti-NEET Bill also provides for the students of government schools to get 7.5% horizontal quota in medical admission.
The special sitting was convened after chief minister M K Stalin-led meeting of all legislature parties — barring the AIADMK and its allies the BJP and the Puratchi Bharatham — on Saturday resolved to reintroduce and pass the Bill again after governor R N Ravi returned the Bill for reconsideration.
