PORVORIM: Opposition MLAs requested the government to pass a resolution in the House for Goa to opt out of NEET and propose a Common Entrance Test (CET) for the state on the lines of Tamil Nadu and other states. Students are under immense pressure they said.
Vijai Sardesai proposed that either free coaching be conducted for all students for NEET or abolish it altogether. It is difficult for Goans to compete in NEET even as they do well at the Goa Board examination, MLAs said.
