Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Monday condoled the death of a 19-year-old medical aspirant, who allegedly ended his life over his National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) score, and the subsequent death by suicide of his father. Further, he urged students not to take the extreme step.
“I appeal that no student take such extreme steps. The NEET, which has been a stumbling block to your progress, could be definitely removed. The Tamil Nadu government has been seriously involved in its efforts towards it, legally,” Mr. Stalin said in a statement.
