Kota, a top coaching hub, reports its 9th student suicide this year. In January alone, six students—five JEE, one NEET—ended their lives. A 17-year-old medical aspirant allegedly hanged himself from an iron rod in his hostel room in Kota’s Jawahar Nagar area on Tuesday, police said.
The deceased has been identified as Harshraj Shankar, who was a native of Bihar's Nalanda district.
