Chennai: The Centre reducing the qualifying percentile for NEET PG 2023 to be eligible for counselling to zero has exposed the conspiracy of the national test, DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin has alleged.

The question among students and parents is about the very need for the test when the Union government says that post- graduate courses in medicine could be pursued just by appearing in NEET, after harping on the so-called eligibility, he said on Wednesday.

The Tamil Nadu Youth Welfare Minister in a post on X said this development has proved his party's stand that NEET is an arrangement to make the coaching centres and private medical colleges prosperous.

The day is not far off for the Union government to answer questions on "NEET injustice," which has led to the deaths of several poor aspirants.

The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on Wednesday reduced the qualifying percentile for NEET PG 2023 to be eligible for counselling to zero across all categories.
