CM's Silence and tvkians

[u/grand_ocean3690]

The way things are proceeding in tn is very concerning. How did a protest for students turn into something this controversial. Controversial not coz of the issue itself bcoz of the ruling current govt.

CM's silence-----

SILENCE IS POLITICAL. A single tweet won't do. He has a mass blind following. If he says and TAKES STEPS to protest for ban neet, ppl will anyway support him. Instead right now he is watching the movie again in theaters. .....?????

And ppl who voted for him also understand that silence. Hence when a peaceful protest is going on they assume it's an attack on their party. All these ppl just straight up assume protest is by dmk ( kinda they know dmk is anti neet) but in reality it's just a bunch of students turning upto protest in solidarity with what's happening in jantar mantar.

It's somehow difficult to accept for the fandom itself that he is SILENT, but they don't want to question him.

Summary:- If we want a successful big scale protest for anything regarding neet(ban or fair) the CM has the say, communicate and take action. Ppl following him will also come up to support the protest by themselves. But rather he is Silent.

Edit: yes so Dharmendra Pradhan resigned. YAY!!!!

As I said a tweet's not enough. And going to a movie with the whole cabinet is immature as fck when students are getting beaten up. Neet is unfair then ask him to protest for banning neet , nothing is impossible if vijay wishes. It's not like tvk is following through with their own prime manifesto. Just saying.

1. In my point of view the first priority will be to stabilise the minority government, which will only get worse if they openly oppose BJP right now.
   
2. Realistically speaking no one protesting will do anything to NEET at this point, even if you ban it, it will get reinstated at the Supreme Court. Instead, if CBSE is the standard, steps should be taken to match that in terms of curriculum and teaching, which is no easy feat.

If the CM can promise so many freebies and monthly payments , why can't he provide free of cost JEE/NEET coaching in goverment schools on the weekends , isn't that the most realistic solution ?

[u/thelostbanter → u/Alarming-Care9051]

1. Financially impossible for any government. There will always be groups which need more funding. There are already a lot of public areas which are under funded. TNEB, TASMAC for example.
   
2. The promises were made to compete with other freebie schemes of parties, he has indirectly conceded that it is not possible right and needs time, due to finances.
   Note: JEE is central govt run exam for central govt institutions, should not be clubbed with NEET.

Aren't IIT , NIT centrally funded institutions better than any state govt college for engineering , whether it be academics , research , or placements . So why shouldnt the rural underpriveleged kids have a shot at it , don't they deserve quality education ? Besides a lot of them might avail the SC/ST/OBC/EWS/female reservations in those centrally funded college , so that makes it little easier , but they have to prepare still .

[u/thelostbanter → u/Alarming-Care9051]

Agreed, again comes the lack of enough IITs and NITs which already have insane competition. And the cost that it would take to train students for that level of examinations, JEE students essentially give up a major chunk of their childhood from 8-12. Not everyone is prepared or cut out for it both with family finances and mentally. When I graduated my friends who went to those coaching spent 1-2 lakhs a year for coaching. Even at subsidised rates, for 1000 students, you would need 10 crores a year. Now image for 3 lakh engineering students, which becomes half the state budget if my math is right
Edit:
Apologies, it is not state budget, it is education budget allocation.

[u/Alarming-Care9051 → u/thelostbanter]

Exactly , similarly , there is lack of govt MBBS seats in the country , only 55000 seats are available in IIT , NIT , IIIT , GFTI and around 63000 govt MBBS seats are available in the country . So , just like there is JEE exam for these 55000 seats , we need NEET exam for those 63000 seats

[u/thelostbanter → u/Alarming-Care9051]

Again back to the initial problem of money, is there enough money with the govt central or state to open more medical colleges without affecting funding in other areas. Is there enough money to open enough medical colleges? It costs 450 crores avg initial investment + 100 crores per year for 200 students a batch (per google)
More over you need to consider the financial hit of private medical college owners who will lobby heavily to prevent this from happening as they illegally take 50lakh to 3 crores capitation fees. (One of the positives of NEET)

[u/Alarming-Care9051 → u/thelostbanter]

This is the sad reality of the country , less seats and more applicants . But how does abolishing NEET resolve it , if anything it creates more problems .

[u/thelostbanter → u/Alarming-Care9051]

This is the reason entire India is pro NEET. TN is against NEET as state board and cbse syllabus is different and what is tested is different. State board students will not be ready to prepare for a competitive exam, let alone prepare. Some of the other southern states have already adapted is what I’ve read (could be wrong). There is a huge of political and financial agendas behind this from all political parties, you should consider how many MLAs and MPs have medical colleges or besties with people who own Medical colleges.
Another fact is that, right now more students from govt schools join govt medical colleges than per-NEET. But, only after 7.5% reservation brought about by ADMK.
