A 17-year-old girl preparing for the JEE exam died of suicide in New Delhi unable to cope with the pressure of not clearing the national entrance test for engineering colleges. The tragic incident took place in the Okhla main market area where the Class 12 aspirant jumped from the roof of a seven-story building. The police said that a suicide note was found, in which the student expressed remorse, asking her parents for forgiveness over her inability to succeed in the exam.

"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 left a suicide note citing study pressure as a reason. Proceedings under 194 BNSS are underway," the police said.

This tragedy comes only days after another suicide involving a second-year Master's student at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, highlighting ongoing mental health challenges within the academic community. The 24-year-old student was from Jharkhand, and he was reportedly, a psychiatric patient, who had gone to the IIT hospital the day before the event.
