Some men said to be parents of students surrounded Reddy and angrily posed questions on why the National Entrance Cum Eligibility Test (NEET) was "allowed," in the state which had "adversely affected" their wards.
The Minister was at the Tamil Nadu Veterinary And Animal Sciences University here.
Since they could not try for medical admissions in view of the common test, they had to go for other courses, they told the Minister.
Issuing admission letters to students following the counselling, the Minsiter hailed the varsity as first of its kind in South Asia.
He wished the students a bright future and good career serving the livestock farming community.
