A student named Manan Sharma died by suicide at his grandfather’s house in Kota Rajasthan on Saturday. He was getting ready for the JEE exam and was found hanging. This happened just four days before his scheduled test. Reports say he was studying with his brother until late Friday night.
The next morning his cousin found him after calls went unanswered. Manan’s cousin was sleeping nearby and found his body. Sadly, this is the fourth student suicide in Kota this month. Manan was from Bundi, also in Rajasthan. His death shows how much pressure students are under when prepping for big exams.
It is likely that authorities are looking into what happened. These student suicides in Kota are a big worry about how students are doing mentally and emotionally when preparing for these national exams. The situation with Manan highlights the big problem of pressure on students in tough educational environments.
