BJP in Puducherry has completely supported the decision taken at the center to select students for the medical courses on the basis of National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). Through a resolution, the government also appealed to continue to select the students through Centralised Admission Committee (CETAC).

In a press release, the party’s local unit President Mr. V Saminathan said that the center also prevents private medical colleges to take hefty amounts from the aspirants of medical colleges. He also added that the Congress party was also making a move to exempt Puducherry from NEET based selection.

The reason behind this was that Congress was allowing the private players in this field to collect hefty fees from the medical aspirants.

After the center has decided to select students for the medical courses 2017-18 academic years on the basis of NEET, UGC has reduced the number of attempts for NEET to 3. Furthermore, the tradition of booking seats in advance is also put to an end.
