Professional Education
We begin with an overview article, written as cover-page article for the periodical “ Frontline” on “ Healthcare Education in the New Education Policy.” This article written in 2019 briefly covers the main challenges in Medical education.
Then we share another brief article called “Revisiting NEET.” Published in June 2019 EPW, which explains sympathetically the Tamil Nadu position on why they are critical of the imposition of NEET as the sole mode of entry into medical colleges.
Seven years later, in May 2026, NEET underwent another major crisis. The entire examination had to be cancelled and re-scheduled due to the leakage of the examination paper. Over 22.6 lakh students were affected. Once again at the invitation of the EPW editorial board, we published our reflections and comments on this event- titled “ NEET Fiasco- Beyond the Obvious, EPW, 13th June, 2026”
