Delhi: 17-year-old girl commits suicide after she fails to crack JEE, leaves suicide note
A 17-year-old girl allegedly died by committing suicide after she failed to crack a national eligibility test where students appear for entry to top engineering colleges in the country.
The girl reportedly left a suicide note and asked her parents to forgive her since she failed to crack the examination where hundreds of students appear every year with the hope of making it to the top institutes.
“Yesterday, at 11:25 hrs, a PCR call regarding a girl aged 17, jumping off the roof of the 7th floor of a building in Okhla main market was received at PS Jamia Nagar. She was preparing for JEE after clearing the 12th class. She has left a suicide note citing study pressure and not meeting expectations as a reason. Proceedings under 194 BNSS are underway,” the Delhi Police was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
The incident happened just a day after a 21-year-old IIT Delhi student allegedly died by committing suicide by hanging from a ceiling fan in his hostel.
No suicide note was recovered from the room.
