The Karnataka government plans to discontinue the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for medical students in the state, proposing its own entrance examination instead. The decision, announced by Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, aims to alleviate the stress NEET places on students and provide a more inclusive selection process. The new state-level test will be designed to better align with the local educational context and curriculum. This move is part of broader educational reforms the state is undertaking to improve access and quality in medical education, ensuring fair opportunities for all students.
