Kalam gives nod for CET abolition

Chennai: President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam has given his assent to the Tamil Nadu Bill that seeks to abolish the common entrance test for admission to professional courses in the State.

This was revealed by Chief Secretary L.K. Tripathy on Monday at a press conference.

According to Higher Education Secretary K. Ganesan, the next step would be for the government to issue a gazette notification, which would contain the date from which the new Act would come into effect. For the past three years, the State government has been trying to abolish the the Tamil Nadu Professional Courses Entrance Examination (TNPCEE) on the ground that rural students found it difficult to cope with the test.

They were unable to either pay for or compete with students in urban areas, who had easier access to coaching centres.

Several political parties, including the Pattali Makkal Katchi, and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) have been opposing the move.
