Exam stress: JEE aspirant ends life, 4TH THIS YEAR

Just hours after the National Testing Agency released the answer key for the first JEE-Main 2024 exam, a 16-year-old JEE candidate in this area is suspected of hung himself in his hostel room, according to authorities on Tuesday.
This is the fourth alleged “suicide” involving coaching pupils in Kota this year.

Meanwhile, authorities said a 16-year-old JEE candidate who left his hostel for a standard exam, has been missing for the past two days. He was last seen on CCTV entering a local forest.
According to Circle Officer (CO) DSP Bhawani Singh, Shubh Choudhary’s body was discovered hanging from the ceiling fan in his hostel room on Tuesday morning in the Jawahar Nagar neighbourhood of this city.

According to Singh, Choudhary was a Class 12 student from Chhattisgarh who had taken the JEE-Main 2024 exam.
He said, nevertheless, that the police have not yet learned the outcome of his tests.
Choudhary had been preparing for JEE at a coaching institute here and had been living in the hostel in the Jawahar Nagar area for two years, the police said.

After the boy did not respond to his parents’ repeated calls on Tuesday morning, they asked the hostel warden to check on him, the CO said.
On going to his room, the warden found Choudhary’s body hanging from a ceiling fan and informed the police, he added.

The teenager allegedly hanged himself sometime on Monday night, the CO said, adding that no suicide note was recovered from his room and the actual reason behind the suspected suicide is yet to be ascertained.
According to authorities, a 16-year-old JEE candidate who left his hostel for a standard exam has been missing for the past two days. He was last seen on camera entering a local forest.

According to them, Rachit Sondhya, a Madhya Pradesh native, has been receiving Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) preparation from a Kota institute for more than a year.
Sondhya left his hostel room near the Jawahar Nagar police station at midday on Sunday to go for a standard examination. He was captured on camera hailing a cab.
He arrived at the Garadiya Mahadev temple, where police say he was last seen before going into the forest.

Late on Monday night, Sondhya’s luggage, phone, room keys, and other possessions were found close to the shrine, according to DSP Bhawani Singh.
The JEE aspirant’s parents reached Kota and lodged a missing complaint on Sunday evening after they failed to reach out to their son as his phone was switched off, police said.
