After the state of Tamil Nadu has been accounting for series of NEET impersonations in which about ten students were allegedly involved in committing malpractices to clear the NEET exams with the view of securing admissions in medical colleges, the Madras High court while hearing the petition today, has noted that the NEET exam cause major prejudice and disadvantages for the poor students and further questioned the reason behind its existence.

The High court bench comprises Justices Kirubakaran and Velmurugan had observed their notion after the state government has notified that only 48 of 3081 passed students have cleared the exam without attending the private coaching classes for the exam. The High court had questioned the Central government on the reason of following such a biased entrance exam. The bench further observed that doors of the medical colleges were closed to the poor students who can't afford the tuition fees charged by the private coaching centers to clear the NEET exam. It has been reported that the private coaching centers in the state have been charging between Rs 2.5 lakh to 5 lakh per student as tuition fees.

The Judges cited that medical education should be equal for all the students. By referring to the recent strike of the state's government doctors, the high court expressed its concerns for the state government on comparatively less pay for the doctors who work around the clock, while comparing to the government teachers. By posting the hearing for November 7th, the high court has directed the Central Bureau of Investigation to table its reports on whether the investigative agency has received any legal complaints towards NEET impersonations.

The case of first impersonation had come to the spotlight by revealing the drama and the loopholes in the month of September, where the Dean of Theni Medical college had filed a legal complaint against the first-year student Udit Surya after the suspicious conspiracy of citing difference of the photograph in the application and his real appearance, after which the police department had booked the student and his father under the charges of alleged conspiracy following which the scam had exhumed shocking scenes since then.

The Dean had filed a police complaint against the son and the father duo after which the probe has been transferred to CBCID police that had detained Udit Surya and his father and based on their confessions, the police team had arrested about ten people including students and parents through which the state has been uncovering the presence of massive scam that had led Madras High court to issue directives to the state government to re-verify the applications and profiles of about 4,250 first-year students who have been admitted to various medical studies in the academic year of 2019-2020.
