Karnataka Medical Education Minister Sharan Prakash Patil on Saturday urged the Centre to abolish NEET-UG from the 2026 academic year, citing the recent paper leak controversy and repeated irregularities. Addressing reporters in Bengaluru, he described Karnataka’s CET system as more transparent and merit-based.
Bengaluru: The Karnataka government on Saturday reiterated its demand before the Centre to scrap the NEET-UG examination from the academic year 2026 onwards and restore the powers of states to conduct their own transparent and merit-based Common Entrance Tests.
Addressing a press conference here, State Medical Education Minister Sharan Prakash Patil called the recent NEET question paper leak a "grave injustice" to the entire student community, and accused the central government of "sabotaging" the futures of thousands of students who dream of becoming doctors.
Karnataka’s CET is a far superior model to NEET and should be adopted nationally. The state has urged the Centre on multiple occasions to consider this, but those appeals have gone unheeded, he said.
Alleging that chaos surrounds NEET every single year, Patil demanded the resignation of the Union Minister concerned over this latest debacle and called for an investigation under the direction of a court of law.
