A student from Uttar Pradesh allegedly died by suicide in Rajasthan’s Kota yesterday, officials have said.
This is the 26th such case in the city this year.
The student was preparing for NEET exam on his own, officials said.
Lakhs of students come to the state every year to prepare for engineering and medical entrance exams.
A spate of NEET-related suicides has been reported in the state over the past few years, especially from Kota, which is known as Rajasthan’s coaching hub. Many blame the pressure of studies and the fear of failure among students.
