New Delhi: A 17-year-old girl jumped to her death from the seventh floor of a residential building in Shaheen Bagh area for failing to clear the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), police said on Saturday.
The teenager, who had been preparing for the engineering entrance exam after appearing for class XII board exam, left a suicide note before ending her life on Friday.
“Forgive me, I couldn’t do it. I did not clear the JEE exam,” she wrote in the note found later.
“Yesterday, at 11.25 am, 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,” police said in a statement.
The girl had earlier mentioned to her mother, a homemaker, that she would take her life if she didn’t clear the entrance exam.
