# Karnataka, Tamil Nadu push resolutions against NEET 2026-08-13T00:14:07+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets More than 100 Karnataka intellectuals, including former Supreme Court judge Justice Gopalagowda, have urged Chief Minister D K Shivakumar to pass a resolution against NEET and the NTA in the monsoon session starting Thursday. They argue the exam undermines the federal structure, favours urban and affluent students, and reduces schooling to a single multiple-choice test. Separately, the Tamil Nadu Assembly is set to pass a resolution urging the Union government to abolish NEET. Tamil Nadu cites student suicides, question paper leaks, and the burden of costly coaching centres. Both states propose reverting to state-conducted admissions based on Class 12 marks. Tamil Nadu also plans to oppose the FCRA Amendment Bill 2026, fearing it could curb charitable organisations' autonomy. ## Coverage - deccanherald.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: education policy, Karnataka, medical admissions, National Testing Agency, NEET, state autonomy Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/over-100-writers-urge-karnataka-cm-to-pass-resolution-against-neet/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
