If we aim at excellence, aptitude and interest in a particulat discipline is a must.Mere marks scored somehow in +2 exams will surely not be a metric for this aptitude.
Why do we conduct CAT, JEE and many more such competitive tests?Only to ensure that the aspirants have the aptitude for that profession .
A candidate, without a liking, or mental readiness to learn a particular course is pushed by peer pressure,parental decisions just because he/she has scored marks can not shine as a professional though he/she may complete the degree.
If there is a filter at the time of admission,then we will end up with the best fit for the course.Now why do you think the surveys show the lowest employ ability of our students?Only because of the absence of an aptitude test.
So NEET sort of test is needed not only for medicine for every course, be it Engg, Arts, Commerce, Science, etc.
I agree with the opinion of Dr.Anbumani that our school education system has to be totally revamped and upgraded art par with CBSE syllabus.But who stopped Tamil Nadu Govt from upgrading the school education? We must do it on war footing basis.
If we accept this argument that our students don't get level playing filed, the same hold good for CAT, JEE, GMAT, UPSC ,NDA,IBPS and many such All India tests.
Can we tell the Government of India not to conduct these tests for Tamilnadu students and permit them easy entry?
So, what is needed is proactive action and not protective agenda.
Let us Design,compete,and Win.
Our children are capable to absorb .But our rulers , teachers, bureaucracy????

CHENNAI: The merits or otherwise of a countrywide National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for admission to medical colleges has been a matter of dispute, but on a dull Sunday afternoon at the Chennai Trade Centrein Nandambakkam, the issue triggered a stormy debate.--
Sparks flew as a panel of former Union health minister and MP Anbumani Ramadoss, former Madras high court judge D Hariprathanam and educationist Prince Gajendra Babu, all in favour of the Tamil Nadu government's opposition to NEET, emotionally countered arguments in favour of the test by former Anna University VC A Kalanithi, educationist T Rajagopalan and MCI member Dr L P Thangavelu.
When Justice Hariprathanam called the October 2002 TMA Pai Supreme Court judgment "the worst in 40 years" because "it laid the foundation for privatisation and increase in costs" of higher education, Rajagopalan stridently criticised his argument.
Anbumani said Tamil Nadu's samacheer kalvi syllabus was not of as high a grade as CBSE, so there was no basis for fair competition in the entrance test. Rural students and those who cannot afford coaching will be unable to crack NEET, he said.
"The justification of NEET is to improve the quality of doctors," Anbumani said. "[But] for that we need a bottom-up approach; the school syllabus has to be upgraded first. The current setup is top-down."
Imposing NEET on states like Tamil Nadu, he said, was akin to pushing an amputee to into a swimming competition.Hariprathanam argued that NEET "would ensure that coaching centres replace educational institutions", and Gajendra Babu said NEET would rob a generation of the state's students of medical education.
