New Delhi: Ironically, even while PM Modi was counselling students, teachers and parents about handling exam pressure, yet another JEE aspirant in Rajasthan’s Kota died by suicide, police said, making it the second such incident in January.
Niharika Singh, from Kota’s Borkheda area, was preparing for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) and was found hanging at her residence. Despite the family’s prompt response and immediate hospitalisation, she was declared dead upon arrival. The police have initiated an investigation, including a post-mortem examination, to ascertain the circumstances leading to her tragic decision.
The police also recovered a suicide note along with Niharika’s body, NDTV reported.
“Mummy, Papa, I can’t do JEE. So I suicide [sic]. I am loser [sic]. I worst daughter [sic]. Sorry Mummy, Papa. This is the last option I have,” read the letter.
According to the police, Niharika lived with her father, a bank employee, and was repeating her Class XII, grappling with the intense pressure of competitive exams. Despite investing seven to eight hours in daily studies, she found herself overwhelmed by the challenges.
Earlier this month, Mohammed Zaid, another coaching student in Kota, originally from Uttar Pradesh’s Moradabad, who was gearing up for the NEET entrance examination committed suicide.
Notably, last year, the surge in student suicides prompted the Centre to issue guidelines aimed at alleviating the pressure on coaching students. Directives were issued to coaching institutes and district administrations to safeguard students from depression and stress.
