Rethinking NEET, and medical education
Failures in the operations of NEET in recent months have aroused much ire. The failures of government-run centralised testing run well beyond examination fraud: M. R. Madhavan of PRS emphasises there is much nonsense that goes into the question papers e.g. with the UGC NET.
It is possible to think about the NEET problem statement and improve its implementation. In a column in the Business Standard on 8 July, Vijay Kelkar and I peel the layers of the onion and go deeper. Why should every medical college in India be subjected to central control of how it admits students? Why is there so little medical education?
