Reportedly the CB-CID investigation into the NEET impersonation cases in Tamilnadu has exposed a larger racket, the state School education Minister KA Sengottaiyan, in a recent interview, brushed off his department’s responsibility in the matter saying that it stops with coaching students. When speaking at an event held at an engineering college in Coimbatore on Saturday, the minister said that health and family welfare minister C Vijaya Baskar had already responded on the topic.
Furthermore explaining that the scam was exposed based on their department’s action following Theni College’s Dean’s complaint, Minister Vijaya Baskar had said, “We have requested CBSE to implement bio-metric systems while conducting exams and the same will be used by our selection committee to double check the candidate’s identity.”
Moreover Sengottaiyan also insisted that Class 11 and 12 textbooks hold the key to cracking NEET since they have been compiled in such a manner. Perhaps on Tamil being removed from TNPSC exams, the minister passed the buck to minister Jayakumar and agreed with the points already made on the topic. Further the minister also made the following announcements: government school students will undergo self-defense training from October; buses will be operated exclusively for students in the morning and evening hours; Class 9 and 10 students will be provided 10 computers with internet connection while 20 computers will be provided for Class 12 students.
