Nagpur: In a deeply distressing turn of events, two young students preparing for the MBBS entrance test- NEET exam died by suicide within a few hours of each other in Nagpur.

The two unfortunate back-to-back suicides have sparked concern, with questions being raised about the intense academic pressure students face while preparing for highly competitive exams like NEET.

According to IANS report, in the first case, 
a 16-year-old resident of Balaghat in Madhya Pradesh, took his own life. The incident occurred under the jurisdiction of the Ambazari police station of Nagpur city.

He had come to Nagpur to prepare for the NEET exam and was attending coaching classes at PhysicsWallah Tuition Centre on Canal Road. Living in a private hostel in the city, Khwahish was found hanging from a ceiling fan in his room on Wednesday morning.

Before taking the extreme step, he reportedly left behind a short note that read: “Sorry, mom-dad, I won’t be able to do it.”

A few hours later, a 17-year-old girl, also died by suicide while preparing for the same exam. She was staying in another part of the city, under the jurisdiction of Hingna police station. Her death, too, has been registered as an accidental death by the police.

Nagpur Police Commissioner Ravinder Kumar Singhal appealed to parents to be more mindful of their children's mental well-being. “Please do not burden children with pressure to succeed academically. There are many career options available today -- even for those who may not wish to pursue formal education,” he said.

The poignant message has shaken parents, teachers, and the academic community, once again highlighting the dark side of competitive exam culture and the weight of expectations placed on young shoulders.
