-25 marks, several zero and single digit mark scorers now doing MBBS. This is the MERIT-BASED admission that NEET claims to have achieved? 
Neither Medical Counselling Committee nor Medical Council of India make the NEET score, rank, percentile and individual subject marks scored by students admitted each year public for fear of this farce being exposed. Why not publish this data every year?
Elementary maths shows that a person marking answers at random is likely to end up with about one-fourth of answers right and the other three-fourths wrong. That means a score of about 10 out of 180 (11x4 for the right answers minus 34 for the wrong ones).
So, someone getting less than 10 out of 180 is doing worse than an illiterate person would do if asked to randomly pick answers. Yet, such a candidate is not just qualifying through NEET but getting into medical college.
