He, had added additional inputs on how things went on in the northern part of the
country. “In North India, students are helped by parents to copy. The students have
naturally getting higher marks. We are honest, but today, NEET has become a national
issue. People across the country are speaking against NEET now.

Mr. Dayanidhi Maran also mentioned the fact that NEET-related suicides have taken
place in Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan. “Young students who specifically come for NEET,
die by suicide because of this exam. What the BJP government did to resolve this
problem? They are putting springs in ceiling fans to stop student suicides – angry
DMK leader commented.

According to Mr.Maran, Northy NEET students were allegedly given grace marks as 
the students could not finish the paper in time. Maran’s comment came after the 
Center government told the Supreme Court that it will cancel the scores awarded 
to 1,563 students who were awarded grace marks in the NEET exams.

However, students who do not opt for the re-test will be based on the original exam
conducted on May 5. NTA told that re-test is expected to occur on June 23, with 
results likely likely to be out before June 30. The Counselling sessions are expected
to commence on July 6 following the outcome of the re-test. However there are more
than 3 pleas in supreme court are pending for enquiry, which are filed to cancel
the NEET 2004 and reconduct the same.
