Another IIT aspirant commits suicide in Kota
Nirmal Yogi, a Class XII student and a resident of Sawai Madhopur district, is the sixth IIT aspirant to have killed himself in the coaching hub this year. He was prepping for admission to the premier engineering institute for the past two years.
No suicide note was found in his room. But his family says he was "depressed" over poor performance in tests conducted twice a month to review students' progress.
Kota, nearly 250 km from Jaipur, accommodates a range of coaching institutes which prepare students for the IIT and medical entrance exams.
Altogether 17 students committed suicide in Kota last year, after which guidelines to coaching institutes to check such deaths were initiated.
