There is no substitute for hard work and the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test precisely demands that, said O.V.A.Vamanan, Chairman of Bhaktavatsalam Educational Trust, on the Founders’ day celebrations of Brindavan Public School, Aathur, near Chengalpattu on Friday. Students need not fear NEET if they are willing to put in such hard work, he added.
Mr. Vamanan said though there were some deficiencies in the NEET, it was necessary to ensure a uniform education throughout the country. Dispelling the common notion that pupils studying in the CBSE alone could clear NEET easily, he pointed out that two students from ISC stream from their educational institution had made it to medical college this year.
Another student, who passed out with high marks in the State Board examinations in 2016 joined medical education by clearing the NEET this year.
N.Murali, co-chairman, Kasturi and Sons Limited, who was the chief guest, said NEET had become an emotional and political issue owing to the failure on the part of the State government to get exemption for students. But he said there is no need to fear the test.
