Karnataka govt to provide NEET coaching for rural students: Dr Sharanaprakash R. Patil
Bengaluru: The Karnataka government will take special initiatives to provide NEET coaching to students from rural areas, Medical Education, Skill Development and Livelihood Minister Dr Sharanaprakash R. Patil told the Legislative Council on Monday.
According to The New Indian Express, during the Question Hour, Congress MLC Ivan D’Souza raised concerns that the NEET system is depriving rural students of medical education and questioned whether poor students from rural areas can afford the coaching with just Rs 3 lakh provided.
Responding to the issue, Patil said the NEET system has not reduced the number of medical seats in the state, nor has it caused any shortage.
He said that while they had decided to scrap the NEET system, the Supreme Court had ruled in its favour.
The minister assured that the government will introduce various measures to provide more effective NEET coaching to rural students so that they can compete better in the examination.
