The delegation, comprising Ministers C Ve Shanmugham, D Jayakumar, K P Anbalagan, K A Sengottaiyan and Dr C Vijayabaskar met Mr Purohit at the Raj Bhavan and sought his nod for Bill which was unanimously
passed in the State Assembly on September 15 as the NEET results were announced and the counselling for medical admissions were set to begin.
The state government had on October 16 informed the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court that “until a decision is taken by the Governor on the assent to the Bill on 7.5 per cent quota for NEET qualified students from government schools in the medical seats the prospectus for admissions will not be issued.”
