The Tamil Nadu Assembly made history on Tuesday, February 8, by unanimously re-adopting the Bill against NEET (National Eligibility Cum Entrance Exam) that was returned by Governor RN Ravi.
Governor RN Ravi had recently returned the "Tamil Nadu Admission to Undergraduate Medical Degree Courses Bill" to the Assembly.
He said that it goes against the interests of students hailing from poor economic backgrounds.
It is for the first time in its 70-year history that the Tamil Nadu Assembly is unanimously re-adopting the same draft of a bill without amendments.
Now that the Tamil Nadu Assembly has passed the same Bill again, the Tamil Nadu Governor cannot reject it for the second time.
The Governor has to give his assent and send it to the President.
The Bill requires the President’s assent before it can become a law.
