No NMC norms for admission of students with disabilities yet
NEW DELHI: The NEET-UG counselling for 2025 is scheduled to begin on July 21. However, thousands of medical students with disabilities are in a dilemma as they are still awaiting the revised admission guidelines. It is not just the revised disability guidelines that the National Medical Commission (NMC) has yet to release, despite Supreme Court directions to issue them much before the MBBS admission process was to begin. There is no clarity on the number of disability assessment centres, which evaluate individuals with disabilities, determine their needs and eligibility, and accordingly reissue disability certificates. Speaking with this paper, Dr Satendra Singh, a prominent disability activist, said, 'The NMC recently issued guidelines on student mental health, but what about the extreme stress, anxiety, and uncertainty faced by approximately 3,673 NEET-qualified candidates with disabilities?' 'The continued delay in issuing revised disability guidelines directly violates at least three Supreme Court judgments. Shouldn't the Supreme Court initiate contempt proceedings against the NMC and the DGHS (Directorate General of Health Services) for their willful non-compliance?' Dr Singh, who has been besieged by calls and messages from parents and anxious students suffering from disabilities like locomotor disability, visual impairment, hearing impairment, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) etc, which was to be included in the new guidelines as mandated by the apex court, said NMC should have placed these guidelines at least a month before the admission process was to begin to allow stakeholders to give their feedback.

People will put an end to dynasty rule of DMK in 2026 Assembly election: Edappadi K. Palaniswami
AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Friday said his party would secure an 'absolute majority' and form the next government in the State in 2026. Addressing a gathering of party workers following a roadshow on Thiruchitrambalam Road in Vanur in Villupuram district, he said the people were disillusioned with the DMK and will put an end to its dynasty rule in the 2026 assembly election. 'The DMK has not fulfilled a majority of electoral promises it made to the people in 2021. Though Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has been claiming that the DMK had kept all its promises, the reality was that only 10% had been fulfilled,' he alleged. Mr. Palaniswami said: 'In the 2021 election manifesto, the DMK said minimum working days under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) would be increased from 100 days to 150 days, education loan taken by students would be waived, and ₹100 in subsidy would be given for every domestic LPG cylinder. But these promises remain unfulfilled. The list is endless.' He said the DMK government was anti-people, and the 100% increase in residential property tax, 150% increase in tax on commercial properties, and the drastic increase in power tariff had hit the people hard. Prices of essential commodities have risen, subjecting the people to untold hardship, he alleged. Mr. Palaniswami said that during his tenure as Chief Minister, an Executive Order was issued, granting 7.5% horizontal reservation for NEET-qualified students of State-run schools in undergraduate medical admissions. He also alleged that a university established by the AIADMK government in Villupuram in the name of former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa was abolished by the DMK government.

TN to launch mental health support for students who couldn't clear NEET
In a bid to provide psychological support to students reeling under exam pressure, the Tamil Nadu government will soon launch a dedicated mental health counselling programme via the 104 helpline, especially aimed at those who could not clear the NEET-UG and board examinations. This was announced by Tamil Nadu Health Minister Ma Subramanian in a statement on Monday. The move comes amid growing concerns over the mental well-being of students following high-stakes entrance exams, with the minister acknowledging the emotional distress many face after failing to secure desired results. According to official records, Tamil Nadu has witnessed at least 22 suicides related to NEET since the national medical entrance test was introduced, underscoring the urgent need for psychological assistance. Minister Ma Subramanian stated that this initiative would provide immediate access to qualified mental health professionals who can offer counselling and guide affected students and their families. 'Our government is committed to standing by students during this emotionally challenging phase. Through the 104 helpline, we aim to ensure that no child feels isolated or hopeless due to academic setbacks,' he said. The announcement comes after six students from Tamil Nadu figured among the top 100 national ranks in the NEET UG 2025, highlighting both the competitive spirit and emotional burden associated with the exam. This year, 1,35,715 students from Tamil Nadu appeared for NEET, of whom 76,181 were deemed eligible, translating to an eligibility rate of approximately 56 .per cent. However, this marks a slight dip of 2.2 percentage points compared to the previous year's results, according to data released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on Saturday. Minister Subramanian noted that the state has received 32,000 applications for MBBS admissions and assured that priority will be given to NEET-qualified candidates during the counselling process. 'While it is not possible to offer medical seats to every eligible student due to limited capacity, the government will ensure that deserving candidates are given top consideration, in line with the guidelines issued by the Medical Counselling Committee and the Tamil Nadu Medical Council,' he said. The minister reiterated the Tamil Nadu government's consistent opposition to NEET, pointing to the disproportionate stress it places on rural and underprivileged students. He called for a fair and inclusive admission framework that considers the state board curriculum and socio-economic disparities. The state's 104 helpline, operational 24/7, is expected to play a pivotal role in offering timely mental health interventions and potentially saving lives in the process.
