A resolution, moved by Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin in this regard was adopted unanimously in the meeting.
The resolution said: "This all party meeting unanimously resolves that the Tamil Nadu government must continuously carry on the legal struggle to secure NEET exemption." The Tamil Nadu government had in 2023 moved the Apex Court opposing the NEET exam .

The resolution further said that it has been unanimously decided to take up all legal steps by consulting legal experts. Such steps include filing a fresh case, if needed, in the Supreme Court challenging the denial of approval by the union government for the Tamil Nadu (anti-NEET) Bill. It also includes taking forward the case filed by the Tamil Nadu government in July 2023 in Supreme Court opposing the NEET examination system. The representatives of parties that took part in the meeting welcomed the resolution of the deputy chief minister and it was unanimously passed.
